Well, perhaps I should rephrase that—I`m not so sure that Mrs. Alford would agree to a Tom Alford giveaway. So let`s call it a Tom Alford CD giveaway!
A few weeks back, I had a show called “Giving Away Stuff”. San Francisco Bay Area singer-songwriter Tom Alford was so amused by the concept, he said to me, “how about you give away some Tommy Alford CD`s?” Hey—this sounds to me like he`s doing us a huge favor, so here`s the deal.
Tom released a CD last year called Second Foundation. Unbelievably good pop gems—old school twang meets alternative, and spends the summer in Northern California outside splashing around in the pool! This sound, and fine collection of songs, earned Tom a Twirlie Award nomination for Album of the Year.
So if I were you, I`d listen to this week`s Tuesday Night Diner, because we`re giving away a copy of this disc—sent to you directly by Tom himself! Don`t worry, you don`t have to study anything. Just listen to the show, and when the time comes, I`ll tell you what to do, and one of you will score Second Foundation!

Tuesday night has always been a pretty big deal to me. A decade ago, I used to frequent the Tuesday night open mike nights at the old Capitol Garage in downtown Sacramento, across the street from the California State Capitol building. I saw nearly everybody in the local music scene make music there—folks like Ben Morss (Onward Chariots), Kevin and Allyson Seconds (Go National), Warren Bishop (Onlymen), and even members of world-renowned bands Cake and Bourgeois-Tagg.
And now—Tuesday night is special because, well, I do this radio show called Tuesday Night Diner. This week, we`ve got a couple of Tuesday-related acts on tap for you.
Sarah Stanley is a Los Angeles based singer-songwriter who works mostly in the Americana vein. Her songs have been heard on several of the major U.S. television networks. She put out a fantastic album called Tuesday Girl last year, which producer Rich McCulley (a longtime favorite on my radio shows) sent my way. And I`m so glad he did. Sarah`s songs are passionate, smoky, intelligent, and sometimes fiery. She`s got a gritty voice that complements the tasteful and sometimes dramatic musicianship of this album. And we`ll hear a track off of Tuesday Girl on this show.

Thinking for Tuesday was recommended to my by our own Jordan Thomas, who said that their sound probably plays really well to American ears. I have no idea why that is, but this American loves this British band with the big American sound. Karen Conway is a vocalist who has the power, emotion, and vocal chops of Pat Benatar, but updated for the 21st century. Add some crunchy guitars, and an incredibly sinewy bass, and you`ve got a delectable concoction that we`re going to serve up at our Tuesday Night Diner.

And finally, Tuesday nights just got bigger and better. Last week, we at Recharged Radio welcomed a new presenter to our ranks: Fiona, with the Anything Goes Evening Show. It airs on Tuesday nights, 10:00-11:00 p.m. (GMT), right after my show. Her debut was an unqualified success. She won`t be on this week, because we want to tease you a little. However, she will return to our airwaves starting next week, and will be doing this show weekly. I do say “stay tuned for Fiona” at the end of my show, but please disregard my incoherent little rambling. She won`t be in the house until next week—but I couldn`t wait. This should make your Tuesday nights complete!
If you`d like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com. If you`d like to become an honorary California citizen, drop me a line at the same address. And if you`d like to hear all this great music—simply tune in to the Tuesday Night Diner, Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (GMT), only at Recharged Radio—www.rechargedradio.com.
See you then!
