258 The Sky’s the Limit
A great set of tracks put together by Hugh around the subject of the sky. Lots of slower stuff and a wide variety of styles, but all great music and well liked by our audience, which grew to 31 at one point and stayed at 28 for a long while. Very happy with that.
The Michael Feinstein track Skywriting was cut short in the main show, and the full track was added to the postshow. My fault, a bad reformatting of the wma original by Audacity.
