Great Matt! glad you liked it. Suggestion duly noted! It is always a tough decision on what songs to fit into an hour-long edition. Never enough time. America by simon and garfunkel is a great tune and it was hard to leave it off. It was next song on the list. Truth.
Keep listening there’s always more great music to share!

“American Girl” is my fav Tom Petty song…partially due to nostalgia from “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”.

Ha! yeah fourdoorsedan I feel the same way. Nostalgia def plays a part in my love for American girl. Petty is great tho, Ive been listening to them a lot lately. Some of the earlier stuff is great.
