Lost Music SaloonLost Music Saloon: PLAYLIST: July 9, 2012: 5-7 p.m.: First Half Faves!

Today's Lost Music Saloon takes a look back at the music released during the first half of 2012.  It's not a "best albums" list, rather two hours of some of the individual songs that caught my ear during the last six months.  Sometimes I'll love an album, but no single song jumps out at me as a strong fave.  Other times, the album as a whole might leave me limp, but one song hits me hard.  Today I'll be concentrating on songs, not albums.

So find someplace cool, kick back, and enjoy a couple hours worth of Saloon faves of 2012.
