Show #1018--12/7/25 (Sunday Sampler's 20th Anniversary)

I call this set "New Favorites from the Last 20 Years," meaning each week I look for new music to feature on the Sunday Sampler, and these are artists who either had one track that really stuck with me and have played numerous times on the show, or more commonly, I have been consistently following since I made their acquaintance (and have played them faithfully on the show over the years).
