Longer Songs

In this program we feature songs that rarely get played simply because they are too long. Karen and Richard Carpenter departed from their usual style to produce/perform their magnum opus Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft. Michael Jackson’s Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough and the Eagle’s Hotel California are two longer classics. Th highlight of the program is the entire eleven minutes and three parts from that great Aussie front man’s Stevie Wright and his epic Evie Parts 1, 2 and 3. The program concludes with one of The Beatle’s greatest Hey Jude.
