PLAYLIST FOR “STARS & BARS!” 6.13.26

14 Jun

In a few weeks we’ll all be celebrating America’s big birthday – 250 years old! (Although it doesn’t look a day over 249 and a half.) We’ll be watching parades, listening to marching band, and saluting the grand old Stars & Stripes! But I thought I’d celebrate very different kinds of stars and bars.

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN

What’s the difference between a Dream and a Plan? Well, I’ve been having a lot of bad dreams lately, a lot of bad plans, too. Dreams aren’t real and they don’t come true…of course, most of my plans don’t come true, either. You know, maybe there’s no difference at all. Both of them end in disappointment and heartache – but not when singers like the ones I played are singing about plans they’re making!
