Wednesday, January 20, the "Sousalarm" just before 7:00 a.m. was Frank W. Meacham's "The American Patrol," which dates from the 1800s, and which later became a hit record by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. An Oberlin WCLV listener called and said (1) she keeps track of every Sousalarm on WCLV; and (2) I also played "The American Patrol" on January 20th last year. She thought I should celebrate on hitting the same date two years in a row.
Celebrate? Perhaps not. It was a coincidence, after all.
More importantly, how many OTHER things in morning drive do listeners keep track of? You are all full of curiosity and intellectual vigor. I wouldn't underestimate any of you.
