PLAYLIST FOR LAST SATURDAY NIGHT’S SHOW (10.5.13)

7 Oct

Couldn’t do a live show this week so I had to scour the Turntable For One archives to find a previously-aired program which would meet the high standards and rigid requirements dictated by great radio programming. However, I gave up after about three minutes and just chose this show from December 2012.  

Hope to be back this Saturday.  

Here’s a link to the playlist in case you want to know a song title, artist, or CD title.
