Feeling so happy that I went over 1,800 listens for MUSIC ON THE COUCH. So, for the first two months of 2011, over 3,500 people have listened to the show!
Thanks to y'all if oyu are part of that number.

You can register for free at playlist.com and type in a band name and BAM the song will be there to assist in building your playlist.
Travis lays out some guidelines for this meme and they go like this:
1. Grab the banner, make your post title Five on Friday, and be sure to link back here.
2. Go to Playlist.com to make your play list of five songs. Choose a particular theme to share with us. You can simply post the play list, or you can add a little summary about what you are sharing.
3. I don't know how to make a specific linky, so be sure to leave me a comment to let me know that you participated.
4. No tags, but feel free to invite your friends to play along if they need a post topic on a Friday.

Oh wish I could be there. Treat Me Mean is the favorite from your set, but I want to see that fingering in person ..........wahhhhh
Beale Street is a fun place to be. The husband and I had a trip planned to Memphis this weekend but it fell through. I was looking forward to ribs at the Rendezvous!
The Tommy Castro tune stands out for me in a really good Set. And that looks like a great line up for the Festival. Enjoy!
Enjoy enjoy enjoy!
Thanks for giving the far-away people a little taste of the Beale Street Music Festival. Really enjoyed Salt of the Earth.
