Another beautiful lockdown number by Alice Offley
Go follow her YouTube channel.
A friend of mine who I have played several times on my show has put this one out there for the Healthcare workers. Go listen, and subscribe to her YouTube channel for more great songs and covers. Px
Hi all! Normally at this time, I would be asking for your love song requests for tonight's show, but what with the current situation regarding places where large numbers of people congregate, I have decided to take the cautious approach and not go to the station while the medical situation remains.
Over the next week, I plan to work out a way to get the show played out for NEXT Sunday. Please send your requests in by Facebook Message to this page, letting me know the song you... want to hear, and importantly WHY you want to hear it?
I'll do my best to play out as many songs for you as I can. Stay safe
