HINT ABOUT THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (6.25.16)

22 Jun

HINT:

I’ll be back live in the studio this week and just in time to help the radio station celebrate another WMNR Musical Theme Week! The new  musical theme: “Gone Fishin’.” How many songs about fishing do you think I can come up with? How many can you think of? Let’s compare notes (excuse the pun) this Saturday night.
