Friday, August 4

In Edition 376 of Friday Morning Radio on TYGA-FM 98.9………

I’m reverting to the previous format, which was a mix of selected tracks from indie artists, easy-listening tracks from my home library, and memories,
rather than splitting them into separate hours.

Artists to be featured today are as diverse as Jimmy Little, Louis Armstrong, Susan Boyle, and George Hamilton IV.

In the brief Sky High segment, a run-down on which planets can be seen and when, in the event of clear skies.

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been running the Diamond Classic plays, in which I play a track each hour which was charting on the date of broadcast
60 years ago.

This edition of the programme will feature the first of a series of Fabulous Fifty Gold tracks, which were on the charts exactly 50 years ago.

Today’s playlist will be entered on this blog later in the day. Scroll down for some previous playlists. Would you like to leave a request for a future programme?
