UK 1976-1980: The Dorm Years
Tomorrow morning’s show theme came to me while driving near VCU last weekend watching all the students and parents checking in and making all kinds of wrong turns. It brought back such fond memories of my own undergrad years from 1976-1980. This is not a “cool” show. These songs come from albums I purchased and listened to alone and with friends in my dorm room just drinking and a smokin’ and a carryin’ on except for the last set which were songs from that era that I wish I had heard then
