Theme: Addendums to Past Themes

Whenever I choose a theme for Stranger Songs, it’s inevitable that time constraints mean that I can’t begin to include all the possible songs or versions of songs that would fit the theme. This being funding drive time, I thought it would be fun to look at some past themes and choose a couple of songs or versions of songs that weren’t included when the theme originally aired.

CKCU is listener-supported community radio and this edition of Stranger Songs will be heard during CKCU’s 2021 Funding Drive. All donations are greatly needed and greatly appreciated.
