WUCX-FM Eclectic Chair #259 airs Monday 01/17/11 from 1-3p.m is pulled out by new Cowboy Junkies & features many selections of more favorites from the year 2010. Six hours total of these alleged "best of" shows has worn me out & I didn't make it through the piles of great choices. I cry Uncle! Perhaps next year I will abandon the mere idea of best of shows altogether?☮

The Eclectic Chair is produced in the studios of WUCX-FM Delta College Quality Public Radio. I cry UNCLE! I didn’t get through all the piles of great music that hit the Chair’s airwaves in 2010. So much fine music we were lucky to hear last year. Next week will be all new music. Have a seat on the next Eclectic Chair each week on this fine public radio station. PEACE☮
