Star Time #247: Thread the Needle


This is "the birthday episode," the first-ever episode of Star Time to have its first airing on my birthday of March 7. You'd be right to expect a few self-effacing cracks about senior menus and bunions. Music-wise, it's full of gems from the Star Time sweet-spot era, generally defined as 1966 to 1973, though this week's show stops at '72.
