The Best Time of the Day Show, with The 2nd Half-Time Hooter , Record and Album of the Week, plus the Lester's Library and Listeners' Library music selections.

This is no ordinary Feelgood Friday, this is a Feelgood Good Friday, and we are feeling grrreat! Johnny Havoc is still fighting the hostile aliens and he has only 14 hours in which to save the world; it may now be re-calculated to 15 hours as he did work through his lunch hour. We are devising new car journey games to pass the time for the inevitable Easter weekend roadblocks. Counting nuns and people picking their noses in passing vehicles have proven to be popular ways to pass the time. Today's news hank is the Queen of Grunge, Courtney Love.
From Lester's Library there are tracks from Sonny Boy Williamson and Sandi Thom with Joe Bonamassa, and a track from Love Sculpture from the Listener's Library. One last track from Album of the Week by Harper Simon and Record of the Week from The Avett Brothers, plus Pause for Thought with Michael McMahon.
