wow Lester!! Many of my favourite artists over the years in this playlist. Some I never hear played anymore except at home. Rough Trade, Stranglers, T-Rex, Beach Boys. Nice treat. And closing with the magnificent Nina Simone. Could not ask for a sweeter hour.

Lester. You be 'Da Man. I needed a new theme song for gardening season this year (I am already seed planting) And then you remind me of that little Beach Boys ditty that I had long forgotten; "Vegetables" I had forgotten what a deliciously silly and charming little tune that was back in the day hahaha. Absolutely loving this crazy collage you put together for our delight!!!! Too many entries that I am loving to mention them all. Thanks for the ride today!
