Music playlist

The music we listened to in High School covers much of the 70s and early 80s. We will be playing the music at a level that will allow us to socialize comfortably while listening to our tunes in the background. Of course, we may turn it up when we hit The Lamar set! I will be building the playlist over the next couple of weeks. If there is a song that you remember and would like to hear, email me at bkbrock59@gmail.com.

Here’s a start!
