Star Time #238: Tomorrow Is Another Day
Your eyes don't deceive you. I'm posting multiple episodes of Star Time in short order because... well, I've been really frickin' busy and have fallen behind. And I had to get these two up immediately because the Christmas episode is coming this week and I have to get that up in the next few days because nobody will want to hear Christmas music a day after December 25 and the few who do need to be scrutinized with all concern. So! This episode is kind of a "best of 2021," featuring some of my favorite songs played on Star Time in the past year. Haven't tried this kind of episode before. Let me know if it brings back musical memories from April or whenever.
