To honor Glenn Spearman's passing last week (Oct. 8), I tried to assemble a tribute of sorts for the show's final hour (which I assume has the most listeners.) Hopefully, I did his memory some justice ... I tried to get a variety of stuff in, and highlight some of the bands he was in. Best part of the show was "N.Y.N.Y.," which I placed towards the end because it was recorded live at the end of a set and contains sustained applause. It was a good way to close things out.
