8/12/07 playlist

This is an 'encore' presentation. It comes from two different shows--4/15/07 and 11/5/06.

As I say at the beginning of the show, it also includes out-of season weather forecasts, announcements for events that have already happened, a teaser for Sunday Sampler content that just will not be, and outdated topical references that are bound to confuse the listener.

I thank you. --MM
