Shopping with Mom at Korvettes - Muzak with Kendo

 

I indulged in some major nostalgia for this set. Namely; being in the back seat with Mom driving to and then shopping in some department store - and the musical style we were subjected to for both! Back then it could be mind numbing or even torturous, but now I find it kind of fun! Listen in the player below and thank you for visiting! - Kendo
