Program #693

This show was bursting with summer tunes to herald the arrival of the season. We hard plenty of old favorites, some new ones as well, and a few that haven't made the cut in recent years for one reason or another. Get in touch if you think something wasn't there that should have been, and we can make it happen the next time summer comes around on the calendar. As far as 2010 goes, I hope your summer is splendid and filled with all sorts of neat stuff. Just remember to keep applying that sunscreen and stay hydrated.
