Radio Fragments

A tropical heat wave, even.

Record setting temps here in Seattle during the day, but at night...ahhh...much nicer. One of the things I really like about a late show like this one is being able to drive home in the middle of the night, windows & sun roof open, just enjoying the cool air after a hot day. What does that have to do with the music? Nothing...it's just true.

There are no MP3s this week, but the show is available from the streaming archive.
