Anyone can make a playlist. Even any hack can make a Monday Mixteen playlist, as that jerk from Coffeebreak Cafe proved last week. It takes real talent, however, to make The Monday Mixteen. Only The Ghost has The Skills to pay The Bills, so to speak. I’ve brought back a concept I used a few […]
The Ghost only had three radio shows in July. Hey, this year, the Fourth of July fell on a Wednesday, so I took the day off. I still managed to come up with 22 songs worth highlighting from this month. And while this playlist gives you a nice taste of what my show sounds like, […]
