Days of the Week

It’s night time in the big city

A storm is coming

A woman wonders.

Singers and Songs

  • Sterling Harrison
    Seven Days

    “There is great music happening all over the country, and sometimes you got to seek it out and if you don’t seek it out, it’s just gonna disappear.”

  • U2
    Sunday, Bloody Sunday
  • Frankie Lee Sims
    Lucy Mae Blues

    “That song is kind of a mash-up between a couple of blues standards.“

  • Blue Monday

    “It’s time for Monday, and if I know my radio show that sounds like a sound cue.”

  • The Rolling Stones
    Ruby Tuesday

    “Supposed to only be a B side. For those of you who don’t know what a B side is, that was other side of a 45 that wasn‘t a hit. The A side, in this case, was supposed to be Let’s Spend the Night Together but most DJs thought it was too sexual”

  • Lonnie Johnson
    Tomorrow Night
  • Wednesday Week

    “Kind of an English / Irish way of saying next Wednesday. The Finnish call it something I can not pronounce, but it is translated ‘center of the week’. Here in the US we just call it Hump Day.”

    "They had kind of an unusual instrumentation…they got a drummer, a guy playing saxophone, and Mark Sandman who sings and plays a homemade D-tuned, 2 string bass that he built himself.”
