Playlist for Sunday, August 12, 2018: This, Not That!

Vacation time! It's here at last...tho I have to admit, said vacation is not what I had planned. I was going to circumnavigate another large body of water, as I did last summer, and the summer before that, BUT the Fates said "nahhhhh, not this year, baby!" But don't cry for me, Argentina: Take time off, I will, starting next week.

And who's The Man, the go-to composer around here, for those one-more-time, win one for the Gipper shows? Yuppers, old Stevie. So a Sondheim Sampler (like a Russell Stover's sampler gift box, some soft and gooey, some molar-chipping hard) it is!

Also the theme of Indecision seemed appropos, so we'll be vacillating away with Lotte, Forever Plaid, and Company, Losing it with Barbara, Lucy and Jessie-ing with Alexis, and like Jennie, never making up our minds.

So after this Sunday (8/12/18), there'll be 2 weeks of recorded 2 On The Aisles, but by Labor Day, I'll be refreshed, recharged, and ready with new playlists, new obscurities, and new cheesy themes, rest assured!

Think of me. With a lemon fizz, corn on the cob, a hammock, and sand between my toes. XO
