Hi folks. In a few weeks time (after a couple programs of 'special guests' we'll be doing the Top 50.   

Here is my list so far----from albums rated #51 to 200.   Lots of 'folk oriented' material.

I don't expect anybody to agree with many of my selections.....but one or two albums might really excite certain 'fans' of some very obscure artists.

You can listen to the programs through my Programs On Demand page (http://www.peachcityradio.org/programs/music/larrysaidmantop200.php), or on the live stream (peachcityradio.org)...aired Saturdays at 11PM, and repeated Sundays 3A.M., Mondays 11PM, and Tuesdays at 5PM.

You can also put comments on my facebook page (Larry Saidman's Top 200).
