PLAYLIST FOR “ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN” 9.27.25

2 Oct

I don’t know why but listeners are always asking me for advice. This week’s show will either encourage them or, more likely, discourage them from ever doing it again.  So I divided the show between people who need advice to the lovelorn and people who want to share advice.
