Looking over the statistics for our most played songs of the last 20 years, I noticed a rather interesting omission over the past few years, so we corrected that by playing it twice and hearing a few other classics from one of our favourites. We talked about exciting upcoming shows, a powerful documentary, a recent show in town, paid tribute to a recently deceased legend, and heard some great new tunes!

I’ll add these new numbers to the previous 800 and come up with new all-time leaders, but for now we heard some of our recent most played songs, albums, and artists. We’ve also got the usual contingent of great new music and we send some love out to the great Jon Dee Graham.
