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.
