is there a way to get a playlist for 1/16/2012?
Thanks, and we LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT . . . . .

To J. Dirt: The version of "Hey Joe" that you asked about is from New Jersey Bluesman, Billy Hector, who was one of the headliners at our 2006 Blues Fest.

Just a quick question about a song title & it's origin: you played it ending at 7:07 p.m. on 12/09/11. Certainly sounded like an early Genesis (Peter Gabriel era) song, but could not put my "finger" on the album of origin. If you have time, please let me know. Keep Up The Awesome Work - LOVE YOUR STATION!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing radio station! Can't imagine the library of music you must have. Have heard this version of "Hey Joe" several times and would like to know who sings it. Can't give you a specific time, but last time I heard it was around 2pm on 12/2/2011. Keep up the great work!

Hi Musicheads, Not sure how many people listened to the streaming Album Station but they're close to having it online again. However, they need a little help from us Musicheads. They have a page set up for a secure monthly payment of $10, $25, $50, $75 or $100 via Paypal. I don't have much money but I can afford $10 a month. If there are enough people that could give $10 or $25 a month the streaming would up and running in no time.

This could be the perfect Christmas gift for a friend with a business. For $25 a month you will receive at least 30 advertising spots a month. This is not limited to local supporters. The business could be anywhere in the world. The Album Station had listeners in New Zealand, France, England and China....to name a few countries and all over the U.S.A.

The Album Station has given us so much great listening over the last 12 years, lets help get the streaming back online. Remember WZXP is not your average radio station and that's why you don't hear the junk that comes with all the corporate stations.

To Jim H: "14 Days" is from Seattle based musician, Laura Love.

To Pike: Where do you live? I have a feeling that you live close to the WOKO tower which is a 100,000 watt station. That's enough to overpower WZXP which (our tower) is approximately 25 miles from there.

For Mary......song question.....November 6th Blue Sky Cafe: I know exactly which song you mean because I also thought that it sounded like a tune from Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull. It's actually a Moody Blues tune written by keyboard player, Mike Pinder...."So Deep Within You" from "On The Threshold of a Dream" (1969)

With Thanksgiving approaching I remember when living in Burlington hearing you play Alice's Restaurant on Thanksgiving morning. It had become a real tradition. Really miss the "streaming". Peace guys...

Hey Russ, hows six meters?

I've tried to tune into your station at home with various radio and get WOKO on your frequency better than I get WZXP. I think WOKO is crowding your frequency.

You played something this morning (11/6/11) at about 9:15 or so that sounded like a Jethro Tull tune. I didn't catch what artist you said it was. Thanks.

Kindly consider Tower of Power's 1973 self-titled album as one of your weekly album selections.

Thanks

Russ and Diane - be great to have a Blues Fest 2012. Any chance of this happening?

Russ
Great job on the R&R B-day of Mark Farner. Well done.

Hi The great ones of musicheadmanship. You folks do not even know how bad I was Jonesing during your abscense last year It is also great to see that I may finally find out who did some of those tunes that you play. Here is a stab in the dark on this one: A very nice lady vocal sings of 14 days... etc. can you help me here?

Answer for Gina.....Thanks for listening! I looked over our playlist for the date and time that you asked about and couldn't find a tune that fit your description. If you happen to hear it again, don't hesitate to call us. We're always happy to identify tunes for you. 802-759-4000.

Reply to Helene.....Yes we have and do!

Hello PD. Can you please tell me if your station has ever aired any Bill Champlin? Please reply?

Hi! Great morning of music, thanks! At 11:18 this morning (August 2nd) , a dancey type song was ending. Had kind of an afro-funk feel to it, I missed the title! Could you get me up to speed?? THanks!

Question to John Westie:
Where do you listen and get the interference from CHOM? Where are you located?

Music question answer for Aaron:
The song Dark Star is a Crosby, Stills and Nash tune. It can be found on the album CSN.

Music question answer for Lana G:

That was Bryan Ferry, from his album Dylanesque....."The Times They Are a Changin"...

You guys are the best!! like most everyone ...were wating for a stream! You all remind me of combination of a couple soCal radio stations maybe one inLA back in the late 80 klsx and a combo of the point wncs, 1053 in Killington which do believe went defunct o few years ago. There are few othe stations you kind or remind me of .but i won't get into ..but you are the combination of all of them in one complete package without the majoe comercialism of all them other stations! Its nice how you mix the tunes up with some well known songs with well know artists and not so known songs and albums, without forgetting the lesser known artists! Again thank You!
Its amazing i don't know what happened all these years in an out of VT and most recently have been here about a year and a half and just discovered you all about 3 months ago. Maybe its becuazse i never lived here in the northern Champlain valley, only in Rutland/ killington, randolph as well as the NEK areas of VT. You guys are like a best kept secret afraid to get to big!

keep up the awsome work ...looking forward to the stream one day!

Best regards,

Jim Stanton

Hi,
Driving back from Pointe au Roche on Tuesday, July 19 around 10:30 p.m. or later, we heard a great cover of a classic Dylan song - you did not identify the artist. Is there any way you can give us the playlist for that evening?
We really enjoy your music.
thanks,
Lana (Canada)

Fantastic station. Don't want to change the channel. Miss you when we're out of town.

Can you let us know how much more is needed to get you back up streaming?

Hi, I would love to listen much more, however I am getting infected with the CHOM signal. Any help out there?

I just stumbled upon your station 3 days ago and I am totally BLOWN AWAY! I grew up a "B" sides fan and the past three days has been a total 70's replay of pleasurable sounds and memories. I have yet to hear the same song twice which is a great accomplisment for any terestrial radio station and speaks volumes about your music library. I had satellite radio. The play list for any station I listened to was not as extensive as yours and I was hearing the same play list over and over each day. My radio will not leave 97.9 from now on!!!! Thanks for the music for the head, I feel much better already.

Hey Guys and Gals - Great station, have been listening for a couple of years and I'm always surprised by the diversity of the music you play. Please keep it up! On a side note, I was listening a couple of weeks ago and heard a song with the refrain - "Dark Star... something...., see you in the morning", but can't seem to find out what group/song it is. I know this is very vague, but was hoping you might be able to identify who it is!

Hi, any date on when you'll be offering streaming? Talked to you 2-3 months ago and at that time you were confident it was only a week away. How do things look now?
Jonesing in Nevada!

love your station listen to you guys and gals everyday. cant wait for the rest of your rock and roll birthdays this month i try to catch it everyday.

We have one sponsor, who has been a long time advertiser, increase the amount that he pays for his ads to help with the streaming. But we still need a commitment of approximately $150. in addition to that. That's $150. per month., not a one-time donation. (The streaming bill arrives every thirty days.) We're looking for another advertiser OR 10 - 15 listeners to contribute $10 per month. (That's only $2.50 a week.) ......not a whole lot of money at all. Please consider helping with this and sign up using Paypal. We will then be streaming again.

Hi Woodchuck, I've been a listener from day one and WZXP is looking for sponsors to get the streaming going again. WZXP is not a large corporation radio station, they do not have all of adds between each song that you get sick of hearing day after day. That is almost unheard of now days. Were very lucky to have WZXP in our area. So all the listeners wanting the streaming back it is time to show your support. I am committed to $10 a month to see it happen. If all the people that have asked about streaming did the same it will be back streaming very soon. Millions pay for satellite radio. Let us listeners sponsor the streaming. Check the front page on the website for how you can help.

Still no streaming ? How temporary might this be ? Wife getting suspicious when I keep borrowing her car, since it's the only way i can listen to the station now. My old beater truck just won't pull you in. Save a marriage, stream please.

Answer to your inquiry, Bryce:
That was 25 year old British Blueswoman, Joanne Shaw Taylor with Time Has Come, from her debut album, White Sugar. Yes indeed, she handles lead vocals and also lead guitar.

...absolutely NOTHING wrong with more Aretha. Great mix this morning!

I ran across your station about three years ago while visiting Vermont. You got me hooked! Enjoyed your streaming station. Then you took it away. I live in Illinois. Its been over a year since you took it away. Please, bring the streaming back and when might it be? I have supported your station, but I can't if you don't stream it. Please don't leave me hanging! STREAM.

Yesterday (3/18) around 4 o'clock there was a long set of bluesy guitar jams that included "The Ironic Twist" by Jimmie Vaughan and a tune by Eric Clapton. Before those songs I heard a song featuring great guitar work but I don't know who it was. I think some of the lyrics were "Well it's goodbye honey."

Any idea what song it was? It sounded live.

This answer is for Ellen: The tune that you were wondering about from February 22 is Journey of The Sorcerer by The Eagles. It appears on their album, One Of These Nights, circa 1975.

I came upon your station by accident, it was like finding money! I'm going to spread the word about you. I was wondering if you could tell me the name of a song you played this morning 3/4/11, it had lyrics something like "mama told me son don't you be no bum". LOL. Thankyou.

Sweeeeet! Another cut from The Grift. Three Minutes and Counting. Thanks!

Hi Diane and Russ,
Yesterday 2/22 at 6:43 PM I turned on the radio and heard an instrumental that I can only describe as a banjo concerto. What was that? I've heard you play it before and have been wondering.

Hi Nina....That was The Electric Light Orchestra with Fire On High from the album Face The Music (1975)
Thanks for listening! ~ Diane

Hi Diane, Hi Russ,

This afternoon, 2/15/11 at 4:35 p.m. you played an instrumental tune--what was it?

Thanks--Nina

The tune you heard on January 13 is Tired and Lonesome by Davis Coen.

Do you guys keep a playlist. I heard a blues song on 1/13 between 5:15 and 5:30 and I would like to know the name and artist. The song that came on after it was Yellow Moon by the Neville Brothers. Thanks

Glad you're back. Long live the album station. Now hire Uncle Dave.

What the heck is going on?? I am on 97.9 and Wizard is coming through the box? Did I take some acid and forget? WOW! What a trip!!

Ok Musicheads it is time get on the band wagon and do what we can to help get the Album Station streaming again. They need sponsors to get this up and running. All radio stations need sponsors to be on the air. Let’s help. I do not have a large income but I know I can afford $10 a month. I like to sit in front of my computer and listen to the Album Station while working. I think it would be so cool to hear an ad for an out of state business, such as a pizza place, that could have The Album Station playing. Advertising and links to business sponsors would be on there home page,( I asked them) which gets a ton of visitors every week. Come on everyone. The Album Station is a small Mom & Pop radio station with no big corporation backing them and dumb radio adds playing every 3 minutes. It should be worth it to us not have to put up with all that crap. So like I said...... I will give $10 a month and the good folks reading this should do the same.

Apologies to you, Jim for leaving out the "t" in your last name. See comment below. Thanks again for helping us out with a streaming computer. Hoping for donations to cover the monthly cost......

Hi Jimmy P.....love your work with the Yardbirds and Zep.....How amazing that you found us on your UK computer! We also now have a computer that meets the specifications for the streaming. (Thanks to one of our terrific listeners, Jim Heinz) This brings us closer to streaming once again. However, we are a bit shy of the monthly cost. So.....at the present time we are looking for some sponsors to help with that. It hovers around $300. per month. If you know anyone who'd like to trade advertising for that......well, it would be a wonderful thing. XXXOOO

Yo, what's happening with the streaming ? Had my hopes dashed with your last revelation that the computer hardware was victimized by the scourge of planned obsolescence.

Hi Dianne - I know there was an earlier message on the site about "the streaming computer didn't meet specificiations and help is appreciated". Did you need technical help with the setup or financial help to replace it? I too hope the stream comes back.

Nick Mason and Syd Barrett birthdays and you guys reward us with almost an hour of Pink Floyd!!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!! I knoew I love this station for a reason.

Just wondering what is the status on your streaming audio...I live in Indiana and can't wait to start hearing you again!

Wow! what a breath of freshness on the airwaves! Receiving fairly well in Jay, NY. Thankyou.

I'm pretty sure that was "Atlantic City" by The Band......written by Bruce Springsteen.

Hey guys, I heard a song at 5:30PM today and I really liked it. It's the one with the flute/whistling noises and it sounds older. Could you tell me what that song is please? Thanks!

hey...do yall keep a playlist. i heard a song at about 7:15 last night and want to know what it was. sorta sounded like zepplin with female vocals. thanks.

Hi WZXP! Thumbs up and a great return. I know the response to the e-mails were daunting. Too much to complete about asking about the artists. I have two though. Please, someone from the Album Station Premo respond and help me out.

We will definitely be playing Alice's Restaurant on Thanksgiving. @ 9 am, noon, and 6 pm. At least one of those times, we'll be playing the "revised and updated" version.
Yes, one of our tag lines is "music you won't hear anywhere else". That, however, doesn't mean that we'll totally eliminate tunes that other radio stations are playing. A lot of those songs are really good, as long as they're not over-played. We do play many many songs that absolutely no other radio station plays......and a whole bunch of artists and bands that are ignored by everyone else.
As far as reception goes, there are very few radio stations that come in perfectly everywhere. The signal is what it is. (Does your cell phone, which is actually a radio, work everywhere?) However.....on the up side, ZXP blasts into most areas of Chittenden County, the I-89 corridor from Burlington to Waterbury, most of Addison county, northern counties: Grand Isle, Franklin, Lamoille, and, of course, Plattsburgh, NY.

Did you play a live version of jacob dylans "will it grow" with a super jam in the middle of it today (NOV 19) at around 12:30?

am i wrong? What was that?

Are you going to be playin Alice's Restraunt for Thanksgiving? - Do you know aprox what time?

Thanks- Jimmy P

Just a minor criticism here..........

One of your tag lines is "Music you won't hear anywhere else". Seems like lately I've been hearing quite a few songs I do hear on other stations. Please don't fall into that pit. What makes you guys so great is your unique library of music. Most of what you play, you are correct; we WON'T hear it anywhere else. I just don't want you guys to lose your edge.

Thanks for all the great music you DO play.

Hi Folks!
Nice to have you back on the air. Everything else out there is just pitiful!

I was listening the other day and heard a quick promo by Ray Bushey of the Nobby Reed Project. HI RAY!!!!

When Ray and I were in high school in Swanton, we formed a band called THE KONTAKS. It was the first band that Ray ever played in. This was 1965-66 timeframe. I never continued a musical 'career' beyond that, but always retained my love for the 'good stuff'. I'm glad Ray continued on. He was by far the most talented of us all.

Thanks again to you folks for bringing us the great sounds. I'm 62 years old now, but listening to your station makes me feel like I'm in my 20's again. It's pretty cool to hear a song on your station and say to myself "Hey!! I've got that album!"

SeeYaBye!

Nice to be listening to you folks again !

Joe

Hi Guys
Help!!!!--- We still can't get you! (New Haven) We even tried putting an antenna on the 10' dishnet pole-quite a project in the 90+ heat, and 65' of wire. The signal booster didn't work either. At least we can get you in vehicles. Maybe we could move the garage closer to the house and just crank it up so we can hear inside the house (ha,ha- but Mike has threatened).
Mike get's you all the way to Richmond!
Is streaming in the near future? please,please,please. We can't take anymore of 94.5- November 2nd, we're voting Russ over Uncle Dave!
Hope to hear you soon

Mike and Jane

I ,also, can't receive your signal anymore and miss you terribly. Unfortunately 98.1 out of Rutland grabs 97.9 on my radio!! I didn't realize how much I missed you, until you came back on the air and I had business in Burlington. I am in the central VT Route 100 corridor and used to hear you at work and at home. Now I have to "settle". When you have it, streaming is not an option (not allowed where I work &dial-up at home). I'll just have to do more errands in Burlinton!!!

Russ and Diane, I love the tunes you play. Many times a great tune goes by without knowing who did it. I would like to discuss tunes with a Top Musichead. I am a bluesman. Would one or both please write? Just a once in a while bluesnote. You have my addy. I have input that may be of some value also.

I had four perfect days of working outside in the Adirondacks and listening to your station. I am hooked to your format and need you to stream it on the internet. Best radio station I have listened to. Such a great variety. Please make this happen.

I am in Waltham off of Green Street.......thinking a "hill" must be in the way. :-(

I live in Johnson, get your station on the car radio, but not on the home stereo...I loved the streaming capability..Why is it taking so long? Is it a $$$$ issue? If so, we need a campaign to get $$$ for streaming...Please let me know....

In response to Dave B...the station in Alaska I stream (until I can get musicheads again) is KNBA....its hit or miss as they do a lot of native stuff and it's an NPR station but they have hours of excellent "who the hell is this" kind of music..check their sched @ the website....a fine listen...but I keep checking back here waiting for the day this station is back online

Son Seals is the artist that performs "Dear Son".......a great song! Not sure yet when streaming will return. We are working on it. Moe.......where do you live? It must be pretty far south of Burlington if you don't get us. But it would help if we know. Did I miss anyone??

Sooooo happy you are back on the air. The first time I found you on the dial, you were playing Work Song by the Butterfield Blues Band. How Sweet is that? Where else could you hear that on FM radio? I have really missed you guys.

I just moved to Georgia and trust me, the radio stations down here definitely do not compare. I would love it if streaming comes back sooner rather than later. Thanks!

Hi Diane and Russ<
So Farout to have yas back on th eair!! So yeah, my question/ coomment is this:
I am hearing on my radio a signal from 97.7 also. Can you tell me about maybe a why
this is?

Rock and roll!!
Ileene

sadly, your new station does not come in at our home like the old one did....wish the streaming would return.

I just heard "Dear Son" (about 2:30 PM on Monday, 9/20). Can anybody tell me who does that?

Thanks,
Carl

Yes, please, SCREAMING FOR STREAMING! Even in the New York City suburbs I can't find a station equal to yours! You are essential to my teaching day, both for energy and inspiration--you remind me of lyrics I can use with my students! Love you guys...

Update!!!! When!!!!!? I would gladly become a member if and when I can stream again!!! What station in ALaska is close to this?

SCREAMING for streaming!!...SCREAMING for streaming!!....We here in the Albany area love you guys too!....PLLLLLLEASE get back on the 'net...I'd be happy to become a member, I'm forced to listen to Alaska to find a station near as good as yours!

Diane & Russ:

Hearing your voices on the airwaves once again confirmed my belief that there is cosmic justice. I'm so happy to have you back.

It is wonderful to have album music back on the air and actual DJ's picking the cuts! Love those great sets you put together! Keep up the great work. You really are the way radio used to be....dont ever change!
Bob

Yeah! So happy to have you back! A friend and co-worker called me yesterday with the news. Looking forward to my NEW bumper sticker ;)

Great to have you back on the air folks, catch you on the morning and afternoon commute again. But I'm really missing the streaming. If this continues I'm going to have to put the antenna back up on the roof. Scary thought.

It is sooooooooo good to have you guys back!! It has been a long wait as no other station in the Champlain valley comes even close to you guys..........awesome!

have heard very good things about your station through my ex-girfriend who lives in Morrisonville - give us an estimate on whem you'll be streaming? looked through the Station's site & it reads right up my ally - can't wait to give it a listen.

Russ Holt - Coral Springs, FL.

Diane -

I'm glad you're back on FM in VT/NY, but for me, you guys aren't 'back' until you're online! What's going on? We're in withdrawal here! Help!!!

Yaaaaaaaay! It's about damn time:)..I've had 97.9 programmed into my car stereo forever. Now there's Music and The soothing sounds of Russ in the am and Diane in the pm. And maybe Chipster now and then? Glad you are back where you belong! Peace and best wishes! Eric (NRP)

Hello Album Station,
I found out about you when I spent summers in Willsboro. I have tried for a while to "find" you when I drive up or down the NOrthway. There used to be a small window of opportunity to hear you. But then you disappeared. The other day I accidentally found you on my car radio when I was in Plattsburgh at 97.9. Yippee. This is a great development. Thanks.
Eileen

Oh man so glad you're back, the people who took over the 102.9 spot are NOT music-head friendly. what a joke! you guys are the real deal. Best station i've ever heard across the country and on serius(well maybe next to the Dead station, but you're a close second to that) keep it up!!

Whatever you did it worked and the signal is awesome.
Welcome back. rik carlson

Halle-f**king-lujah, good music on the radio again!!! Great to have you guys back on the air.

EXCELLENT!!! So great to have you back on the local airways! Now I can leave my presets alone again (except when you play Phil Collins...)
Coming in good in the Old North End - except it's in monoral. But hey, I can wait for stereo! So happy again!!!

It's been great to hear your familiar programs again in my car all weekend. Love the new Blues show on Saturday nights!
And I enjoyed the Blue Sky Cafe and Beatle Brunch this morning. I am so glad you're back on the airwaves!

Russ, Diane and the Crew-Splendid Isolation from the Musichead World no more. WELCOME BACK, WE'VE MISSED YOU! 97.9 is already programmed. Bring on the music.

Hope the streaming situation is solved soon...I live near Saratoga Springs and discovered your station on frequent drives to Plattsburgh and love it...I'll hop aboard the donor wagon when I can listen again & great news that you are back!!

Your back with us. GREAT, You come in loud and clear in Bristol.

Diane, I am very encouraged by the progress being made. Could you tell us what the new frequency will be or do you find that out with the FCC permit? Are you ready to resume broadcasting pending permit now? We need you back! I for one am not coping well with market research driven mainstream radio. I check here daily hoping to here that transmitter on switch..........

After reading Diane's Desk I donated $15. Hay Musicheads they need our support. Lets see if we can get 100 supporters to donate $15
