Podcast: August 14, 2016 – Love Songs for the Next 20 (and beyond!)

Episode #654

A collection of beautiful love songs inspired by Del Barber’s recent wedding. I never know what to give as a gift, so I went old school and made a mixed tape. It sounded pretty good to me, so I decided to make a show out of it and share it with others. So here it is!

This is one of those periodic “standby” episodes that gets dropped in when I can’t make it down to the studio, so you might hear this one again some time. It’s a good one, so I’m sure you won’t mind.
