Show tracks for Sat. Nov. 13/10

Wow, November is half over already. It's time to start thinking about future shows. I think a Rewind! in two weeks is called for. Since Christmas is on a Saturday this year, I think that will be a Rewind! as well. That means the Festive 50 will be January 1st & 8th.

There must have been a little release glut right before the holiday season. Three albums showed up, so we did three mini lp sessions. They are all quality releases and deserve to be heard. So much great music , so little time. Rather that than more time and less music. Hmmm more time....oh the possibilities.

Here are the few tracks we played;
