Add in the humidity and I want out!

It’s New York City Songs for us who got slammed, and…

Once again, I was surprised to see September 11th falling on a Tuesday, the day of the show, when it is broadcast terrestrially over the airwaves.

Over the years for September 11th, I have explained that although the Pentagon was…
