Sunday Sampler 10/4/09 (Mystery Theme)

Here's last night's Mystery Theme hour...no one (to my knowledge) figured it out. I leave it here for you to figure out, O Internet Surfer who somehow finds this post...what do all of the songs I play in this hour have in common? (Yes, other than them being rock and roll songs--hint: focus on the people singing the songs).

Otherwise, it's just another mix to listen to...click and play below.

Oh yeah, one more thing...seems as though next week will be my 'official' 200th Sunday Sampler. Nothing really all that different about next week's show, except I will be doing another Mystery Theme hour next week, and giving a prize away. The Mystery Theme hour is one where I just play the music without comment, and you connect the dots (AKA read my mind) and figure out what unique theme ties all of those songs together. I do believe it will be moderately difficult (it's my nature), but I sure would like to see a winner...and to do that, ya have to play...that's next week.
