There are a bunch of new to me artists featured in hours 2 and 3, and unlike last week, no technical issues. Hope you enjoy, its always fun to find new artists from this corner of the country who have great sounds. 

This is the lavendar season in Sequim, WA, and the first hour was devoted to lavendar songs (yes) and songs about flowers and other growing things.   Halfway through the second hour there were some technical difficulties on the live broadcast, which I handled with a degree of aplomb.
