We celebrate the 2005 Woodward Dream Cruise with air checks from past broadcasts featuring Bob Green and Scott Regen and Bob Berry’s interview with Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits, a piece that never aired due to the historic black out of 2003. We highlight some of the 2004 Dream Cruise events and showcase a trunk load of music for cruising from Jan and Dean, Ronnie and the Daytonas, the Beach Boys and more. Scott Westerman hosts our 34th Keener Podcast.

Last time I complained about Apple’s ITunes podcast interface, the flames were hot and heavy. But if you’re like me, and want a way to listen to your stuff on an IPod Shuffle without having to mess with ITunes, check this out. Martin Fielder has done a terrific job creating a tiny python app that creates a Shuffle playlist by scanning the device for playable MP3 files. You can enable the Shuffle as a drive and drag and drop from your explorer (or designate a directory to easily integrate with Ipodder). Once click on the python file and a playlist is immediately created. The best thing.. your IPod library isn’t trashed if you try to plug it into a different machine. I’ve tested this on the desktop and laptop (both Windows) and it works great. Martin says it will work on Mac OSX and Linux as long as the free Python interpreter is installed. So I’m listening to Bob Baldori on the Keener Podcast and celebrating my freedom from the limitations and quirks of ITunes. Gotta love Sourceforge!

Bob Baldori has to be one of the ultimate rock and roll survivors. A renaissance man who wrote, produced and performed during the height of the 60s, Bob is best known as a founding member of The Woolies, who took their high energy take on Bo Diddley’s Who Do You Love to the number 3 spot on the WKNR Music Guide in January of 1967. This week, we celebrate the Woolies’ four decade career as Bob takes us from the smokey clubs of the Motor City to the heart of the LA music machine. We’ll hear some rarities from a brand new Woolies CD and learn how they became Chuck Berry’s favorite back-up band.
