My sister Natalie would have been 50 on Friday but she passed away in 2017. I did an hour tribute to her today on PartySavers101.com and I am posted the show here for posterity. I play nothing but songs that remind me of her and I tell a few stories about why. Starts with Oran Juice Jones and ends with Gregory Abbott. In between there is freestyle, hip hop, dance music, and a dust rack special or two. If you listen, e-mail me at [email protected].
