Volume 150: Songs I Didn’t Get To

This is a special milestone episode.

It’s November 2023. Four years since my dad said, “here, have all my records to do with them what you want,” and four years minus a month since he died.

It was a couple of months after that when I came up with the idea for this show to share this wonderful collection rather than sell it.

We are now at episode 150!

Along the way on this musical journey through my dad’s records, I have kept the number of songs and the total length of each episode down to a reasonable number and time. However, that means I had to leave plenty of great music unplayed. This episode will only partially fix that, but I know I’ll feel better about sharing some of this extra music.

So get ready to hear twelve tunes from albums I’ve already featured on this show with Volume 150: Songs I Didn’t Get To.
