Episode 47

     Had things gone the way they normally do, this post would have appeared more than three hours ago. I’ll spare you the details (which you could easily supply) and say only that my show was more than twice as long as usual. What you see listed below, including the tracks in parentheses, was as much as I could reasonably include as my show. The items not listed there, which carried me until about 6:40 a.m., were simply a way for me to get through the morning. Perhaps later in the day, I’ll amend this post (or add another) with my thoughts on this episode. Until then, enjoy imagining how the show might have sounded....
