This week’s episode is spring-like, because it is finally somewhat spring-like here in the Northeast.
So, there’s that. But, I also bring you a special version of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ blending the Original London Cast album with one of my favorite bands in The Afghan Whigs doing a few covers, too.
Whatever it is you’re celebrating – in my case, just being alive & the wide-scale availability of chocolate! – I wish you nothing but well.
Enjoy!
