Our 2nd visit.

A bunch of fairly obvious choices (including the original Katrina) and a couple of nice rarities
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Listening now so I can catch up and listen to Back to School later today.

Sometimes you just need Katrina.

Song after Katrina is totally NTM. "Viva La Rock"? No clue about this group.

ETA. Close. Turns out it's "Vive Le Rock" - Adam Ant

Amusing.

So of the three sets I listened to this morning, this was my least favorite of the bunch. But I'm encouraged that he is throwing in a few rarities (the Adam And, Phil Oakley/Giorgio Moroder songs in this case) even if they weren't my thang.

Baby steps....
Let's get right to it.
