Interesting.  Should I take a stab at it? ;)

Mike: will your playlist include Ray Stevens' "Misty" and Wings' "Magneto And Titanium Man"?

Go for it!  And yes, those 2 songs are on my list. I tried to go deep without being crazily obscure, but there are 4 or 5 of my "requested many times but never played by AL" songs.

DW has approved my list and I've recorded a "let's spin the big wheeeel" intro. Dunno yet what day it will run.

RGMike RULES on 10at10!

But not today -- it's a 1979 set so I'm guessing mine won't be heard until Thurs or Fri.

Listened to the first two fan request sets -- DW didn't ask for any clip suggestions (since neither set had any, IIRC)?

I'm curious. Since your list was likely to be a little more eclectic than that of your garden variety ex-Foghead, did he accept your list as you submitted it, or did he make any suggestions that certain songs be swapped out?
Let's get right to it.

He said it was a "great list". I had said, "if you don't have any of these available, let me know and I can give you alternates", but he said he had them all. 

And apparently the sets will all be clip-less. I wondered if he'd add that stuff too, but no.

So it appears he got such a big response that we'll be hearing more request sets on Fridays going forward. He also is soliciting suggestions on FB for a baseball-themed set. Not sure when that will run (World Series? wouldn't wanna jinx the Giants).

I don't think you have to worry about that. Casilla already has matters well in hand with that one.
