I know, right? A radio show about saws? I'm not even a crafty guy! Ask my wife. She wishes I would take up carpentry or something like that. The most sawyer I am, alas, is Tom. & I have a fence to paint.
Still, I managed to rustle up a couple hours worth of saw songs. The show only aired ninety minutes, because I gave the last half hour to my trainee, Ethan, who did wonderfully. At home, later, I added thirty minutes of music, to bring it to the full two hours. So if you heard the show this morning - there's bonus content! Suddenly I feel like a Blu-Ray Video Disc!
The show is listenable (arguably listenable) at the Self Help Radio website. Please pay attention to passwords & such, available on the page. The sawsy songs I played are listed below.
As always, thanks for listening!
