"Anyone who works at a radio station has certainly been compiling a list of songs for Aug. 21, the day of the eclipse."

Really? I wonder if any music station here is planning something. I sense an AM740 Saturday Night Bandstand theme.

Of course you know them; they work with Norm Edwards & Ben Mercer on "Face the Music", Thur & Fridays. An AM-740 coffee mug is up for grabs. Is kind of like the $64,000 Question, but without a stuffy isolation booth

Goodness hopes that they will inform their listenership on safe eclipse viewing tips.

Let's not forget it is a Moonshadow, after all!

Here's one that contains both, followed by another for CanCon needs.

Sure enough, as predicted, this was the theme on AM740's Bandstand show Saturday night.

Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon would cover the deal for 40+ minutes

Couldnt see Bell Media stations doing anything creative like that...

Can't believe that someone hasn't posted Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun", and there's also "Total Eclipse" from the Alan Parsons Project album 'I Robot'....which is one of the more unappreciated albums out there.

CHFI just played "Total Eclipse of the Heart"

I was sad to have missed this classic.
