Hello, fans of music and music listening! Welcome to Episode 19 of this little thing we like to call the Listening Party!
This week on the show, we start a brand-new mixtape which was made for listener Stephanie Felice. Stephanie did not request any particular sort of music, but mentioned in her accompanying letter that she was a fan of folk music so David attempted to craft a mixtape with that in mind.
He thinks he succeeded! Do you?
