Theme: Addendums to Past Themes and CKCU Funding Drive.

This is the second of two editions of Stranger Songs falling during CKCU’s annual funding drive for 2023 – and something that I do every year on the second Stranger Songs funding drive show is addendums to past themes. More often than not, when I choose a theme for Stranger Songs, there are more possible songs to choose from than I can include – and sometimes new music that fits the theme arrives after the show has been produced. So, I’ve chosen a few of the themes from the past year for addendums.

Please click on this link to show your support for Stranger Songs and CKCU, and help us stay on the air for another year. https://www.canadahelps.org/me/6rEQFU7Z
