@Gerry: wiki article on Doc D says: "The online show follows a format similar to that of the terrestrial show; no longer being limited by a radio time slot or commercial breaks, the show usually exceeds two hours and may include "bonus tracks" at the end of the show. The weekly "Funny Five" has been replaced by a monthly Top Ten in order to allow for more comprehensive special topic segments. The new format, along with the ability to play records that previously would have been censored on the radio, has allowed Hansen to delve more deeply into his collection than was possible on the syndicated radio show." -- Much more detail available at the wiki article.

JOE, I remember buying the original version on a 45 of "How Glad I Am" by Nancy Wilson. She ended up marrying some super-rich Dduke or prince from some European country and they lived only about 5 or 6 miles away from me on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in south Los Angeles County. Fancy that! Nancy was one great singer! Straddled both jazz and pop.

Bearsville homage: great idea & close to my heart as a Todd worshipper. Interest footnote is the tangled Todd and Laura Nyro saga. A bit of a tragic soap opera. She was his muse and inspiration but when they tried to work together it was not a good result…
