Happy Friday “Drivers” fam and seasonal blessings to you all!
Today’s show is turning out to be a bit of the usual mixed vibe of genres that makes this show what it is.
I’ve got some mellow soulful grooves to get things rolling that may transform into some half-time stompers at times depending how the crates dictate.
The plan is the usual unwinding you from the week that has been in the first hour and taking it up somewhat in the second hour to wind you up for your weekend if all goes smoothly.
There may be a few yuletide nods, some vintage to current selections to be unearthed as the playlist rolls out.
Finally, I’ll be featuring a number of fairly extended tunes as an extra little gift for all my “Drive” fam.
As always thank you all so much for taking the time and hope you enjoy this week’s offering.
