First new show of the new year. I like to start off on a positive note (excuse the pun) before the new year careens off into chaos and calamity. Sadly 2026 beat me to the punch. Still, I tried to salvage the mood with some favorite songs about different kinds of new beginnings.

PLAYLIST FOR “MY FAVORITE FOUR-LETTER WORDS” (AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST) 11.8.25

10 Nov

Played a show from 2023 this week, though two hours of four-letter words still seems appropriate for the times.  Maybe even more. I wrote this the first time I posted the show: 

Since it’s an election year, we’re going to be hearing a lot of four-letter words. I thought I’d start the ball rolling with some of my favorites: Love, Luck, Hope, Life, Song, and, of course, one of my most favorites of favorites, Tony.
