As I sit poised to celebrate another trip around the sun, I can't help but reminisce about the golden days of my youth, when choosing the perfect birthday toy was the thrill of a lifetime. So, I'm bringing all that warmth and nostalgia straight to your ears, along with a hearty 'Happy Birthday' to my dear pals Tony and Dan. Listen in for a stroll down memory lane, complete with tales of Kiddie Corral toy hunts and Mr Snow Cone delights, as we gear up for a celebration of friendship, the anticipation of my own special day, and the joys of every holiday we hold dear.

Shifting gears to the buzz of the current scene, your support means the world to our local shopkeepers. Also positive thoughts and prayers for our friend and listener, Cecilia. Also, riffs on the upcoming presidential debates, weighing in on media biases and even slipping into my best Trump impersonation for a much-needed chuckle. And as we brace for the clash of ideologies, I'll share my musings on the cultural tides, from the waves of "wokeness" to the Roger Waters, David Gilmour feud, and the undeniable energy of Mick Jagger who's still rocking it at 80.

Finally, let's not forget the rhythm that's been setting our pulses racing for decades, as I spotlight the undeniable allure of Yes's 'Rhythm of Love' from '87. So, keep your ears perked and join me for a sonic journey that promises to be as eclectic and memorable as the soundtrack of our lives, featuring the best of music legends and the commercials that have etched themselves in our collective consciousness.
