Ruby Slippers Playlist for May 3, 7-8 pm

Hey everybody,

No interviews with interesting people this week, but some wicked good music.

I am currently listening to the CD's to be sure there are no glitches, and even at repeated plays, am still loving this week's playlist. And to stay in during this glorious spring weather, well, the music MUST be good!

For those of you who donated to the station during our recent membership drive, a BIG THANKS, and an extra dollop of gratitude for those who also made those donations to Ruby Slippers.  There is a beer somewhere waiting for you, make no mistake.

Anywho...here goes for this week.
