It has been a rough first week for my new Internet radio station. Technical problems caused it to frequently loop and play the same two or three songs over and over, interrupting each other.
Fortunately, the problem appears to have been resolved.
In spite of the technical problems, I had opportunities to listen and take notes. As a result, I've made significant changes to the playlist, effective today, and invite you to check it out again.
