PLAYLIST FOR “BUCKET LIST BONANZA” 6.22.24

23 Jun

My next-to-last show of the season and it made me think about all the music I haven’t played for my audience this year, which made me think of all the things I haven’t done in my life. (Sadly, that’s how my mind usually works.) So far there’s only one thing on my bucket list: buy a bucket. With the help of an internet list of bucket list suggestions, I gave myself – and my audience – lots of potential and some obvious choices for things to do before kicking the bucket (which I haven’t bought yet.)
