I Have No Idea What I’m Playing…

I am redefining the-seat-of-my-pants, tonight. Nothing planned, both my plan and my backup-plan having failed.

UPDATE: That worked pretty well, actually. Almost all of the music was decent, what wasn't was still interesting, and it was a full two hours of tunes I'd never played before, with one exception (which I hadn't played in at least two or three years, so I don't feel bad about it). It could have been a trainwreck, but thanks to the Lord o' the Drunks and some serendipitous selections, it was awesome. Click here to download it.

Lost Music SaloonLost Music Saloon: Feb. 20, 2012: 5-7 p.m.: Presidents’ Day

Welcome to the Presidents' Day edition of the Lost Music Saloon – – songs about our presidents, both general and specific, plus a few political/social tunes to fill things out.

Major "Thank You's!" go out to DJ's Ginger and Dustin for filling in for me over the past two weeks…great job folks!  I always enjoy looking over the playlists of other DJ's who sit in for me from time to time.  More often than not I wind up asking myself "why didn't I think of playing that song?"
