Hello, partygoers! Welcome to another fabulous episode of Sneaky Dragon Listening Party
This week we present a collection of Dave’s famous “Top 5 Songs” lists as we emulate in podcast time the four month break Dave took as a breather before tackling the next set of mix tapes and just have some good, dumb fun.
So join Dave and an “over-song-ed” Mary as they spin some loosely themed songs in the always welcoming rumpus room. Come on in !!!
