Date:  January 27, 2018
Host:  Kim Vaughan
Feature: KV’s 5-yr anniversary


In January 2013, I co-hosted my first episode of Rockin’ Remnants with John Simon, and then I did my first solo show two weeks later.  In preparation, I made a list of songs I might play, and I shared the list with JS.  “You’re loaded for bear!” was his response.  So in celebration of my five years as a host, I’m playing a few songs from that list, along with some other songs I love, plus your requests, the birthday calendar, 45 corner, and more!
