July 20th Playlist! "But it's all so easy, All you gotta do is try, Try a little tenderness"

Thank goodness for last night's rain and cool breeze to ease the heat of the past few days. My house has been as hot as it is outside... I have been ready for a break from the hot sun and the humidity. But I'm not complaining. I don't like to complain about the heat in the summer because we have so much cold in the winter that it just seems greedy or something. This is my last show for a couple of weeks, but fear not! My next show will be MY RADIO SHOW!!! I have waited 7 years to have another birthday show. It's going to be awesome! I'll "see" you in three weeks! August 10th. Put it on your calendar. Here is this week's show brought to you by 2004!
