Unfortunately something was haywire with the audio archive of this program and it didn't record properly so there is only the playlist for you to discover the music on your own. Too bad, it was a good show.  Perhaps I'll try and replicate it this coming Friday.  I also shared my discovery: tomatoes are berries!  Who knew?
