Playlist for 6-6-2023 - Nothing to See Here, Move Along


 
For this week's show I was going to do a bunch of full album sides, because I wasn't in the mood for putting a show together; but typical of me I got fully engaged and made a full-fledged, themed show, inspired by the opening album side from Al Di Meola. The show closed with a tribute to organist Reuben Wilson, who recently passed. Hope any who tuned in enjoyed! Follow me on Mixcloud for weekly live streams.
