I was going to do a quick set of short songs last week, but didn't get to it. So then i was going to do it this week, and decided last night that i could make a whole show of short songs. i decided that my cuttoff for short songs was 3:00. I think most regular radio singles these days are 3:30 to 4:30 long. So there was no song on today's show longer than 3:00. i'll list the times for some. 44 songs total! whew, i'm afraid i gave our already tired cd players a bit of a workout
