This week we’re keeping it as simple as apple pie or a PB&J sandwich.  Simplicity is the key to happiness so why not revel in its abundance?   AB177 serves up slices of good ol’ fashioned Americana with songs like Camp Town Races, My Old Kentucky Home and Oh Shenandoah to warm your soul.  You’ll feel proud to be an American and feel a mysterious urge to take up square dancing.  JW2188 Simplicity awakens your inner child with playful and innocent little ditties that are bound to put a smile on your face.  You’ll be busting out the Play Doh and cookies and milk in no time.  Go ahead and act your shoe size for awhile, you have our permission!
