CD SHOWCASE MEMORIES

2 songs from the 2nd (“double play”) hour (8p-9p) of my 09/23/1995 college radio show: “That Rock Won’t Roll” by Restless Heart & “You & Forever & Me” by Little Texas. I played these 2 songs back-to-back, with RH’s “Heartbreak Kid” starting that double play & LT’s “What Might’ve Been” (a request) ending that double play.
