Star Time #91: Turn Back the Hands of Time
This week's episode re-offers the spotlight to a lot of artists that haven't been on the show for awhile. At least five or six months, I think. Through no fault of their own, I must add. It's all ours. We still don't have a handle on all the clerical beeswax that goes along with running an internet radio show. For God's sake, we're still putting rabbit ears on top of the refrigerator over here. Mainly for luck. Anyway, aside from that gaping oversight, this is a very strong show with some excellent songs by fantastically worthy artists.
