Talia…is there any line-dancing(socially-distanced) outside or inside in RVA…where/when ?!
Wow..this Doucet song is beautiful!!!
We have a new CD out of local music called HopeFiendZ: Songs of Opioid Recovery. It supports friends4recovery.org I hope to drop off a CD soon, it might fit in your show.
Agreed!! Where is the 9/17 playlist???
: . . . (
Is there no playlist from Sept 17th?
Heard a song from that time slot and would like to know what it was.
Good morning, J! Sorry for the delay. 9/17 blog and playlist are now posted at wrir.org – today’s front page; click on the logo and it should show up in the scroll. Sept.17 was the day of the heavy rain and tornadoes; felt a little swampy. Thanks so much for your interest and patience.
I cannot wait to see the playlist!! Great show tonight.
