We’re off to a gig tonight so there isn’t a witty, long, descriptive blurb for Sunday’s show. The main points are:
- Studio was hot
- Tunes were mainly old
- A smattering of new tunes
- We’ve been listening to A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs
Hopefully see you next week, but if we don’t, remember to get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!

Don’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.
