August 11th Playlist - The Birthday Show!

Another year, another Wednesday, another birthday, another birthday radio show! I remember doing my first birthday show when I turned 26, almost a year after I started playing music in this time slot. People loved it! They called in to the show throughout the year saying that it was their favourite show. Since it is my guilty pleasure show, it was my favourite too! Since then every year I play my favourite songs and artists on my birthday show. It's not really that different than any other Wednesday, other than my guilty pleasure songs that I don't often play. Yesterday I had such an amazing birthday day... this is the icing on the cupcake! Here is my birthday show playlist:
