Articulation Summer

July 14, 2011 Show


With the heat just upon us I thought it would be appropriate for us to explore just how Summer is spelled out, that's right S-U-M-M-E-R. The songs heard today on Sophie's Parlor will begin with one of those letters in show I like to call Articulation Summer. Meaning just what does it take for a women to be in a summertime frame of mind. Looking forward to your calls,

Andrea, Diva of the Day
