Self Help Radio 070224: Death Valley

(original image by Andrew Mace found here*)

Recent events in this dying republic colored this show somewhat, as I was depressed most of yesterday, when I should have been focused on the show. That it didn't turn out so badly (in my opinion) has to do with the work done before - I wanted to find enough songs that I liked to fill up a show about Death Valley & that took a little time. It's not the most common of topics, but also it's not the most common of places. Hopefully one day I'll get to visit.

You can visit this show at the Self Help Radio website. You'll need the username SHR & password selfhelp to access. But only once! There are other radio shows there too. What happened on this this radio show is noted below.

Is Death Valley a good place to hide I wonder?
