Theme Scheme Radio presented a very special program, in honor of The Second Coming...of the
Catholic Girls, the Greatest All-Catholic, All-Girl band ever. They were way ahead of their
time when they released their first album back in 1982. They didn’t find their audience and group broke up without issuing
a follow-up. Well, it’s 20 years later, and the Catholic Girls’ day has finally come. Their second album, Make
Me Believe, was released, and to celebrate in typical Theme Scheme style, we presented the program Catholic
Tastes, a more-or-less reverent look at Catholic and Catholic-inspired music of many kinds, including tracks
from the Catholic Girls recordings throughout the show. To learn more about the Girls, check out their web site at TheCatholicGirls.net. The Catholic Girls held their official CD release party for the disc Make Me Believe
at The Broadway Central on Saturday, March 2nd, 2002 at 10:30PM. [The address is 114 South Broadway, South Amboy, NJ and their
number is (732) 721-2059]. Although the CD release is over, the program remains in our permanent collection and is still airing.
Quick Quiz: Who's the second greatest songwriter ever named Zimmerman? Right! Roy Zimmerman, brilliant satirist
and mastermind behind the The Foremen, The Twang, and his own solo career. Roy's hilarious Vasectomy can be heard as part of Theme Scheme Radio's Stories program, and his "Christmas
Is Pain," an hommage to his mentor in the Zimmerman-songwriter category, can be heard as aprt of our Holiday
Mix 2003. And you can learn more than you ever wanted to know about Roy and his records at http://www.roysongs.com, courtesy of Roy's Number 1 fan, Joan Manners. [Theme Scheme Radio is Roy's Number 2 fan. Roy's wife, Melanie Harby, clocks
in at Number 3.] Tell 'em Theme Scheme Radio sent you.
