Birthday huzzahs to Paul McCartney, producer Richard Perry, Carl Radle and more.

On tomorrow morning's episode of The "In" Crowd we'll be celebrating the lives of Tony Allen and Florian Schneider who have recently departed this mortal plane. Add a 180th birthday nod to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky with some contemporary samples from P.I.L., E.L.P., The Move and more. Of course, at 5 we'll be "Tearing Of The Covers" with five tasty cover songs you've probably never heard before. Live from the WUSB studios 3-6AM. Worldwide on WUSB.FM and your smart device. 90.1 and 107.3 out on the island.

Six hour Covid-19 marathon. We observed a few album anniversaries. Santana's Amigos (1976), The Kinks' Percy (1971) and Digital Underground's debut, Sex Packets (1990). We also marked Purple Day (raising awareness of epilepsy) with a few "purple" tunes.

Getting down with my funky self.

Attempting to weave together this week's "The In Crowd". Got some birthdays to celebrate ...Peter Tork, King Floyd, Peter Gabriel and Henry Rollins. I should be able to cover that with some cohesiveness in three hours, but still not quite sure. Guess we'll find out together. Thursday morning 3-6 AM at WUSB.FM and 90.1FM or however you choose to listen. Any requests? Post here or call in 631-632-6901. Be there or be sleeping.

Tune in Thursday morning for another edition of The "In" Crowd. I'll be commemorating the anniversary of the 1976 T-Rex release Futuristic Dragon, and remembering The Mighty Hannibal who we lost 6 years ago to the day. Plus a whole bunch of new releases. The Wood Brothers, Drive-By-Truckers, Black Lips, Swamp Dogg with John Prine, Terry Allen, The Coffin Diggers, Eminem and more. 90.1FM, WUSB.FM 3-6A.M. As always, we'll be "Tearing Off The Covers" at 5 o'clock. Be there or be sleeping
