Ray Stevens kicks off the show, asking us that all-important question: Would Jesus wear a Rolex? How are you all doing? Welcome to mentalhealthradio.ca. Hey, you’re listening in on the Langdon Auger Show here on Thursday, April 16.

I want to thank you all for the week and the support that you have so far this week. This is our last show of the week. We’re back again on Sunday, starting at 6 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, of course, and running all the way through until 8 p.m. The gist of the whole show is just play music, have good times, chit-chat. We do have a live chat session here. Robin’s in there right now, so we’re just going to chat, have some fun. Maybe we’ll talk about stuff. Maybe we won’t. Maybe we’ll just play music. Maybe we’ll request a song. We don’t know yet. It’s a whole new day.

But today, the whole thing about today, it’s technically our Friday show. So we’re going to try to give you songs to get you ready for your weekend. Hopefully that works. If not, like I said, you can always request a song. Some song that’ll get you ready for your weekend. But here’s how we’ll start it off.

And before that, we had the Rolling Stones, a little “Undercover of the Night.” Alice Cooper started off with a great tune: “Hello Hooray.” Welcome to the Friday show here on Langdon Auger, and we are, of course, Mental Health Radio. We do the show Sunday through Thursday, so it’s kind of like our Friday show. I think we could celebrate that as a, “Hey, it’s Friday.” Let me know what you think.

Also, we’re playing songs that maybe make your weekend just start a little bit better, and maybe help our weekend a little bit better as well. So if you’ve got an idea of a good song you want to play, just come on down the live chat there and add it in. Most certainly, if we have it, we will play it. We’ll keep going with some Canadians right now.

Great song with Harlequin there and “Sweet Things in Life.” Jimi Hendrix also in there with “Crosstown Traffic.” We started out with Miss Alanis Morissette and “Thank U.” 24 minutes after 6 right now. Thanks again for tuning in. It is our Friday show here on Thursday, April 16. Want to thank you for tuning in all this week. Hopefully we get more and more people involved here and we can have some new requests, because right now we’re just playing stuff to make the weekend go a little bit better. Hopefully we’re doing so, so far.

We also have a dance portion of the show. Usually it’s at the top of the next hour, somewhere around just, you know, 2 or 3 minutes after. Sometimes 6 minutes after. It depends on the songs we’re playing. But one song that is a guaranteed dance-type song and a preview of the dance portion of our show is this one. We’ll be right back.

Great tune there by Elton John, of course, and “Pinball Wizard.” Boston in there as well with “More Than a Feeling.” And we started off with one of those songs that just makes you want to dance all the time: Ram Jam and “Black Betty.” 20 minutes before the hour of seven. Thanks again for tuning in. This is our Thursday show, our last show of this week.

So we’re playing songs that hopefully will help you heading into your weekend and make you feel just a little bit better about the weekend, and heading into it. That’s what we’re trying. We’ll see what happens. We’ll continue on. Great tune here also from Rod Stewart.

Probably the late 70s, early 80s album The Game, and “Another One Bites the Dust.” It just kind of took people by surprise because they had cut all their long hair and changed their outfits. They just sounded different. That was the first song that was released, the radio release for that album, and everybody was just kind of like, “Who the heck is this?” If you’re a big Queen fan, you’re like, “Who the heck is this?” But as they progressed and you got the album and you listened to it, you kind of felt the mood they were going for on that album. It just, it was a bit of a shocker, that’s all I’m saying. But before that, of course, we had Marianne Faithfull and “The Ballad of Lucy Jordan,” and Rod Stewart as well in there with “Every Picture Tells a Story.”

What do we got here? We’re almost to our dance portion of the show. We have one more set of music to go to get to that. I want to thank you again for coming in for this Thursday show. We will continue with another set of music, but get prepared, get hydrated. The dance portion will get you moving.

From their 1997 album, Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone? That is, of course, Harvey Danger and “Flagpole Sitta.” So many great songs on that album: “Carlotta Valdez,” “Wooly Muffler,” “Private Helicopter,” “Radio Silence.” Great, great album. Before that, of course, we had Live from their Throwing Copper album with “Lightning Crashes.” We started all off with Dishwalla from Pet Your Friends album and “Counting Blue Cars.”

Well, I hope you’re prepared. It’s the dance portion of our show. Robin said she’s hydrated, she stretched out, and she’s ready. Let’s see how she does. Here we go.

01:24:17

And “The Boys of Summer.” And before that, C+C Music Factory, “Gonna Make You Sweat.” Michael Jackson started off the dance portion of our show today with “Thriller.” How did you? Did you, did you make it through? Did any injuries? Did, did you hydrate? We’re just waiting to hear from Robin there, see how she’s doing. No injuries here on the Langdon Auger Show, so what do we got? 23 minutes after seven, so that means we got less than 40 minutes left in the show. It is our Friday show, as mentioned before. Once again, though, thanks for all the support throughout this week. We’ll be back Sunday night, starting at 6 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.

01:24:58

They did mention the Grateful Dead in that last song by Don Henley, “a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac.”

01:25:05

And as we’re getting old, it reminds us we all have a little “Touch of Grey.”

01:25:09

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

01:37:46

That’s the original version of “Mr. Tambourine Man” by Bob Dylan. Usually the radio version is about 3 minutes and 20 seconds. That one’s over 5 minutes, so great tune there.

As well, we had Mashmakhan in there with “As the Years Go By,” and the Grateful Dead started off that set with “Touch of Grey.” I want to welcome you in. We only have about 25 minutes left in the show, because we’re going to do the 10-minute song at the end of that. I’ve got a great one pulled out for you. Danny Casey on drums, so if that gives you a hint who it is. But for right now, we’ll get back to our next set of music, and we’ll be back to talk to you right after that.

01:38:30

01:51:02

From 90125. That is, of course, Yes, “Owner of a Lonely Heart.” The Moody Blues in before that with “Gemini Dream,” a great comeback album for them, and Joe Jackson started off that set with “Stepping Out.”

Well, that’s it for me. We only have about 11 minutes left in the show, and we’re ending the show with an 11-minute song. Thanks again for tuning in. We’re back in Sunday night, starting at 6 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, and we’re going to run right through, so hopefully you have yourself a good weekend. I have visions of saying the drummer’s name wrong. It’s actually Danny Carey, not Danny Casey. Not sure what I was thinking of there, but we’re going to end the show with some Tool from their Fear Inoculum album. What a great drummer he is. Happy mental health to you. We’ll talk to you again on Sunday.
