Wednesday afternoon The AIR brings you a brand-new episode of Curtain Call.  You can tune in at the website, or on this embedded radio player…

At 2 PM, your humble blogger replays an episode of Beatles Blast devoted to the late Neil Innes and The Rutles. We plan to have a new episode, our first after The Lost Beatles Project, next week. Beatles Blast can be heard every Wednesday at 2 PM, with replays Thursday at 10 PM, Friday at noon, Saturday at 4 PM, and Tuesdays at 9 AM, exclusively on The AIR. Sundays at 2 PM, all through the summer, The AIR will bring you four hours of The Lost Beatles Project, collecting outtakes, studio chatter and alternate versions of tunes by The Fab Four.

3 PM sees a new edition of Mel Larch’s Curtain Call with a great mix of new and old examples of the best of musical theater. You’ll hear songs from some recent off-Broadway shows, as well as a few standards and deep cuts from the vast musical theater songbook.
