Date: Mar 30, 2013
Host: John Simon
Feature: “This Old Heart of Mine”
Rockin’ Remnants presents a special themed show this week as JS prepares to take a leave of absence for heart surgery. The projected procedure + recovery time is about 7 weeks, and he wanted to leave with a heartfelt goodbye. Almost all of the songs he played this evening were related to the heart: broken ones, aching ones, happy ones, hungry ones…. Even the requests were largely heart-related. No trivia this week.
