It’s the first show of the new year and I start things off celebrating space exploration in song with the space oddity. I also say happy birthday to a few incredible musicians with some of their fine tunes, pay tribute to the incredible graphic designer Vaughan Oliver, play you tracks from a couple of albums turning twenty years old in 2020, highlight some outstanding bands/musicians from Rhode Island, and last but not least take a listen to some new music from a few upcoming albums. Gather your friends around the speakers for two hours of radio fun!
