We’re back….

After a not-so-brief hiatus, Radio Obsession is back, and the playlists will be updated shortly….. thinking about doing a year-based theme in the near future.  Just have to decide which year to start with.

Also will be choosing a “desert island” album to feature.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
