I’m burning twice as as more

Listened

It’s a shimmering Tuesday, Radio Friend!

I might be getting wonky in my dotage, but I’m not on todays show. Sure, some of the syllables I say all come out at the same time, but what else is new?

I’ll tell you! Today’s a power pop panorama. We’re shoehorning in 37 tracks itty bitty little tracks into our two hour’s of radio goodness. I’d say it’s too many to list, but that’s easily disproved by looking at the top of this post.

Meant to get one into the party mood for the birthday happening that happens this Saturday.

Remember, take care of those pets when the fireworks take flight. Share and Joy! Tell your friends and enemies, family and strangers!

Tune in at 10 AM ET to 88.1 FM and HD1 in Chattanooga and throughout the Tennessee Valley, on line everywhere at wutc.org and on the go in the WUTC App (Apple | Google).
