Ever have a song get stuck in your head?

Ever have an old song bring back a vivid memory of a time and place?

The vibrations don't stop when they reach your ears.

They resonate in your brain and strike sparks as they mix with thoughts and sensations.

They can dig in and set up a long-term residency.

Here was another batch of tunes. Maybe some of them are returning to you like old friends. Maybe some are new to you and will stick around.

It's not up to me, and it's not always up to you...

Thanks!

'Ohhh yeaahh... THIS album...

'How long has it been since I played this one? Jeez, how long has it been since I THOUGHT of this one?'

This week's show had that sort of 'use it or lose it' aspect to it.

Grabbing some of the music from my archives that for whatever reason I usually skim past - - and yet I never got rid of it.

Some treasures and memories. Barring several exceptions the average release year here was likely about 1995, give or take.

Hope you enjoyed.

Remember mix tapes?

Heck, for that matter - - remember cassette tapes??

I guess that making mixtapes used to be the way that many of us were able to express our inner deejays...

... I suppose one has to be careful though, once that particular genie is let out of the bottle.

I hope you enjoyed this show.
