Howdy,
I don't generally do "theme shows" and this week's version of a Tennessee
Saturday Night wasn't necessarily a theme show, but I guess you could say
that "silly fun" was sort of an underlying theme to the whole production.
Mostly this week's songs were selected for their "feel good" quality. Of
course, there were exceptions to that rule, but for the most part happiness
prevailed.
I enjoyed settling the show into its new time slot-- 6 to 9 p.m.-- and hope
that Saturday's audience response was a sign that the move was a good one.
At any rate, you know the drill by now... contact information, etc., follows
the playlist... and here's the actual playlist itself:
