A pleasant cross section of genres and artists, very much a feel for 1978.  Nothing earth shattering or particularly in my wheelhouse, but a solid representation of the year.

BOS, Linda Ronstadt

On a side note:  It's going to take a while to get used the digital experience.  Something about the "live radio" experience.  I was so used to tuning in at 10 am in the old days, because I *had* too.  With the on demand nature of the internet, I don't know that I'll ever get that destination radio feel back.  But maybe that's just me.

And finally, great to hear Dave's voice.  Miss ya', bub.

RGMike:
Pope dies --> "Life's Been Good"  Heh.

Susan B Anthony dollar --> "Used to Be My Girl"

I assume both were intentional.

Jonestown --> "Surrender" OTOH...
