Playlist… It's Magic!
Hey you. I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but Coffeetime is now on Fridays from 2-4p. (Troubadour and Coffeetime did a do-si-do.) Aaaaand, next Friday, June 9, I will be covering Lost & Found also. So, join me from noon-2p for L&F and then from 2-4p for Coffeetime. Or check back here and at Coffeetime Archive at your convenience for playlists and podcasts, respectively. Now, for this week's playlist:
