Sunday was a super-busy day at UCONN -- Commencement Day for 2,000+ graduates. That means there was a TON of activity on campus, and no parking to be found. Congratulations to all graduates, but especially to one young man who was a listener of BG Cafe -- Colin from Litchfield. It's always nice to know that there are younger folks who are interested in this music.
We also featured the first of our seven Guest DJs, who had each pledged a certain amount of money to have an hour of their own at the BG Cafe. First up was Scott Farrar, and he did a fine job with some excellent tunes. His tunes are marked on the list below in RED. Thanks, Scott! Look (and listen) for more Guest DJs in the future weeks....
And, of course, Sunday was Mother's Day, so we paid tribute with a few songs devoted to mother.
Thanks to everyone who listened, and make sure you join Jim & Marti next week at the BG Cafe.
