Episode #232: Roll With the Punches

It's a two-fer... uh, Sunday! I was backlogged on uploading Star Time episodes on account of my inattentiveness and imbalance. But today I rolled up my sleeves, girded my physical faculties, took a deep breath, and sat down in a chair to type in some code for about 30 minutes. We're all caught up now, plus we get an hour back. This week's episode contains songs from 1973-76, a fairly short time frame that represents the years R&B music perhaps made its biggest impression on my childhood. It's the stuff that made the most notches on my central nervous system, so obviously I hold it in some esteem.
