PLAYLIST FOR “FALL FUNDRAISING NIGHT” 10.21.23

23 Oct

Fall Fundraising Night!  Did I beg? Did I plead? Did I cajole?  Did I make some money for this special little radio station? I didn’t do too badly for a Saturday night. Maybe because I offered music with so many reasons to make a pledge.

PLAYLIST FOR “WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION” – SEASON 14 OPENER (9.9.23)

11 Sep

Well, they didn’t change the locks at the radio station, so I was back live to start a new season. Was I any less self-involved? Do you mean, did I learn anything over my summer vacation? I think this week’s theme answers that silly question. I played music in tribute to some of my travels and tossed in a few songs about thing I didn’t do. I finished the show with some of the music that caught my ear while I was away. Was anyone happy to have me back? Gee, I forgot to ask that question.
