Episode #236: Reelin' With the Feelin'

This is the last "normal" show of 2021, as we have some special episodes that will take us to the end of the year and my annual three-week vacation. In this edition, the Lancers snatch, Young Hearts shake souls, Dr. John seeks a locksmith, Scatman Crothers returns to Wonderland, Don Bryant has a mayday, the Classics bring back Jimmy Mack, Alvin Cash busts broncos, and we finally get around to playing Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff" after almost 5½ years.
