Saint Patrick’s Day 2017
Radio Free D’ni provided some of the music for the St. Patrick’s Day parade and post-parade bop, and here is the playlist :).
The preshow was, as usual, designed to let people find the broadcast channel and get tuned in to the music. Unfortunately, I had not created the playlists, and doing so took up so much processing power that the channel dropped out for most people. However, I promised not to do that again, and the listeners returned… at one point, 43 folks were listening, more than were in the cavern, and we still had 27 on line when I handed over to Joker at 15 KI.
