hello again, fine people. as promised, this is the playlist for the show on the 1st of april. in the spirit of the day, holy thursday, i decided to do an all religion themed affair, of all denominations of course……would you expect anything else from the five & dime show? i’m not a religious man myself, but i can dig on the sounds of the faithful. there will probably one day be a second installment on this theme, when the mood strikes look/listen for it.
don’t forget, if you missed the show when aired, to find it on wmse.org & go to the archives section for the five & dime show.
