This week's show has an American theme, since Independence Day is upon us; one of my favorite holidays! Songs will either have an Americana feel to them, or be named after locations in our beautiful country. I had to narrow down from a whole bunch of selections to fit into the allotted time, so expect another "American" show in the future! Festivities begin Tuesday 7/2/13 from 3-7pm Eastern. You can listen online here. See you then! - Kendo

Uh-oh... a themed show! This week's show wass brought to us by the letter "S"; that is to say; all the song titles begin with the double curve. I love these shows because songs and albums are chosen that ordinarily might get overlooked, but are worthy of our time; and it steps up the variety factor! It's the last show in the old WFCF studio!! I'm going to miss it, especially the mood lighting, but I'm looking forward to the new equipment, furniture, lobby et al and the overall sense of adventure. Thanks for tuning in/stopping by! - Kendo
