Clutter can be a pain (and people who treat any level of clutter as a sign of either moral failure or a mental disorder can be a real pain). And sometimes it can be a joy, like when you discover something you really want and/or need, and forgot you had.
Case in point: I wanted to do a tribute to Les Paul on tomorrow's show, but I only have one CD. Turns out the station has none. (By the way, how can that be? We have a weekly rotating show devoted to guitar rock and there's no Les Paul in the entire library?)
D. suggested searching Youtube for Les Paul tracks that weren't too rock, and using Audio Hijack Pro to get them into a format I could use on the radio. I was thinking I'd have to do that tomorrow. In the meantime I wanted to get some work done this evening. For no particular reason I decided to play one of those old time radio CDs I bought a couple of months ago. Went through the stack and discovered a CD of the Les Paul Radio Show! I had gotten the CD just because I needed one more CD to get the quantity discount, and had forgotten all about it until just now.
It's a great CD. Good sound quality and terrific performances by Paul and his wife Mary Ford. There are over 20 episodes of their show, plus tons of guest appearances on other shows. The tribute tomorrow is on!
