Episode #95: Time's a Wasting


Happy new year. Star Time is back. Ready for another year or so of glorious R&B serenades from a long-ago time when we were young, hopeful, more pliable and not furloughed. We start 2019 off with a barrage of mostly '60s R&B: fast-moving, foot-tapping, not too contemplative or navel-gazing. Dip into it just a little, like we're all having to do with our savings accounts at the moment.
