Great work joe, any chance you could turn your levels up a bit, it’s a wee bit quiet for my liking…I have to crank everything up to hear you.
cheers.
Well, this is just too good.
Seconded. Great show.
Great collection of songs! Allow itunes, keep this resonating on Resonance

I thoroughly enjoyed this programme, thanks Joe! Like Emil, I would request that the volume is increased please – it is a slightly hard-to-hear listen at current levels.
Joe B. – Sounds great on this side of the Atlantic. Nice to know I have at least one of your albums in common (Whatever). Hope you go on beyond thirteen.
Would you consider also posting the years of the recordings?
Hi Joe,
Please contact me if you are interested in an update on the new CD with 23 ISB songs in Swedish, by Musikgruppen RAA.
Just listened episode two and the levels are fine now. Thanks Joe, for the playlist, is it possible to extend this with the year of recording? Great music, hard to find on the dutch radiowaves. It fills some gaps in my collection, which, by the way, I have also been organizing some weeks ago.
Wonderful Joe. Listening to the first show then on way to the 2nd. My ears are filled with “Tears of Rage” right now. Beauty.
Fantastic broadcast! Love the first now getting on with the 2nd. Such amazing song choices, Joe. Keep on spinning, we’ll keep on listening!!
