This was a late-Friday-night program that opened up, and I took it for selfish reasons because (a) playing the hero gets tiresome, for everyone, and (b) TWO HOURS OF SAFE HARBOR YO, and (c) there's a new Rema-Rema single that needed playing. We live in Historical Times. I was thoroughly exhausted, and I'm not sure anyone heard this, but it was one of the best. STRAIGHT TO THE VAULT with this one.
It was indeed a night "of many observances" as well; I kind of find the birthday things "interesting assignments" in the same way that "Listening Parlour" selections are, especially when a given program straddles midnight. E.g., a Link Wray song must be played (twist my arm), at this time, and connections must be found. That's probably something that's of interest only to me, but as this is my diary, you will take it as you find it.
