Difficult Listening Hour 2020.11.07: Biden/Harris Win Edition

90 minutes of upbeat, happy, celebratory songs. No real plan; I started by searching my library for the keywords ‘party’, ‘celebrate’, and ‘America’, and improvised from there, with a few requests tossed in as the set went along.

Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris! It’s been a long four years.
