This time around we start with a 1960s TV commercial, swing back to a cartoon from 1932, and then meander. We have a British Invasion set, an acoustic set, some flat-out 1980s pop (both French and British), a bit of Bacharach, and still a little more. We end with a Perry Como ballad that's a family favorite.
We'd like to talk about the weather but it's too depressing and especially boring for people of the future, so we won't. We'll just say: there's been weather, and here's some music for you.
