We'll also take a musical trip to paradise, hear some songs about Polly and some "Indian" songs and we'll celebrate National Doughnut Day. As Homer Simpson would say. "Mmmmmmm…doughnuts."

The last segment of the show is dedicated to my friend Bob Birchard who passed away last week. He was also one of this show's biggest fans. I hope those of you who knew Bob or knew of his work will find it a fitting tribute.
