Theme: "Variety & Guest"
Notes: We touched on a variety of themes and shows this week. We featured a few songs for Election Day on Tuesday and Veteran's Day on Friday. We also featured some newer recordings brought down by a listener who had contributed during the April Fundraiser. His theme also included songs from shows that used the same source material and opened within a short time of each other, much like "The Wild Party" back in 2000.
