Star Time #129: Got That Will
We're heading into that part of the Star Time annual schedule when commitments and efficiency engineers start to impose on production, which means I generally put shows together without thinking so much, which means the shows are marginally better than when I'm sweating over a cauldron trying to dream up unifying themes just to excite my biographers. So here's the final show of Summer 2019 according to the calendar. It's got soul, funk and R&B up the proverbial and atypical yang(s).
