Program 37

At long last, here is archive show #37, complete with my new "all-purpose" intro and closing which will be heard on all subsequent programs until we get to the ones I didn't lose the files from... Does that make any sense??  Also due to popular request, I'm including the time length for each track.  Shimmy your summer away!
