the theme, such as it was, was weather. see titles. mislabelling led to my playing Joe Turner's Until the Real Thing Comes Along, and it should have been Turner's I Get the Blues When It Rains, which would have been more appropriate and better music.
comments from many listeners saying how much they like hearing multiple versions of the same song -- i like it myself and will continue
