The show is a day late & it was recorded while a thunderstorm ripped through Fort Worth this morning - I was afraid the power would go out - but by gum here's the show where every song mentions (at least once) all the days of the week. In retrospect, it wasn't that difficult to put together, but I did collect songs for over a year. I wish I could do that with all my themes!
As well, it's the next-to-the-last episode before the show goes on hiatus while the wife & I & our brood move to Portland. I will need the time off but I'll miss doing the show!
Never mind that: please enjoy this ridiculous episode of Self Help Radio which is of course at Self Help Radio dot net. Remember! The username is SHR, the password is selfhelp. All that happens on the show is listed below.
Also, might I add sundaymondaytuesdaywednesdaythursdayfridaysaturday? I needed to say it one last time.
