Episode 10: Songs of New York City
Oct 28th, 2009 by davidknowsbest
I just returned from my first visit to New York City and was inspired enough to centre this week’s episode around everything NYC. All the songs I’ve chosen are about or inspired by this theme, some more obviously so than others. In the midst of travels, studying, and future exams, I must admit I wasn’t fully prepared for this episode, but I had fun doing it.
