Star Time #107: The Exception to the Rule
Starting with this show, the next few episodes of Star Time -- like, the next seven or so -- are sort of an experiment. I won't say exactly what it is because that would blow the whole thing. Besides, you likely won't notice anything very different, but I'd appreciate hearing about it if you do. Just leave a message with Brenda. (Boy, it's been a long time since I've mentioned Brenda.) Anyway, ne'er mind. This week's show contains a lot of outstanding '60s R&B music. I like it, anyway.
