Zero Hour playlist for 5/27/09 - Goodbye bloody mary mornings and Jay Bennett R.I.P.

The Bloody-Mary-Morning beginning theme concluded this week – all is better with the world. It was nice to get quite a few phone calls this week – people are actually listening at 2:30 in the morning! I did a short tribute to Jay Bennett, who passed away unexpectedly May 24. I forgot to play “Harvey Haddix” by the Baseball Project – Tuesday was the 50th anniversary of the pitcher’s nearly perfect 12-inning game in Milwaukee.
