& here it is: three hours of music from 1986. It was a very important year of music for me (as I keep saying) & playing it & experiencing it for three hours was quite emotional for me. & still I didn't play all my favorites! I'm planning to revisit this in six months or so, there is so much more great music from 1986.
Anyway, the less I yammer on about it, the better.
You can listen to the show at both the KBOO website & at the Self Help Radio website. As usual, if you choose the latter, remember the username (SHR) & the password (selfhelp) to access the files. The things that happened on the show are noted below - songs & all.
Happy birthday to me! I think I had a decent eighteenth year. The soundtrack was aces.
