Spring Is on the Air

Something vaguely approaching spring has arrived in Boston. The Red Sox are playing again, which is a sign, but it's still rainy and cold more days than not, which is actually another sign. Once we get our first one-day blast of 85-degree weather followed by a late-season killing frost, we'll know that spring is here for good.

To welcome this lovliest of seasons, my much-delayed tribute to spring hits the air tonight at 7PM on 91.5 FM in Boston and wmfo.org on the Intertubes. You'll hear spring tunes from the likes of ELO, The Beatles, Blossom Dearie, Tom Waits and Minnie Ripperton. That's right, the annual playing of "Loving You" will represent the first challenge of WMFO's new digital sound system with the fabled "high E."

All of this, plus Nick Zaino calling in with an update on Boston's comedy scene to the tune of his favorite song, "Jai Ho." Not to spoil the surprise, but we hear a certain Boston comic (who I'll be appearing with in Auburn a week from Saturday) will be making his debut on a late-night talk show.
