Year One, In Review

Strong Songs is one year old! In honor of that anniversary, Kirk
takes a look back on the year that was, sharing musical
highlights from each of the show's 20 single-song episodes.


SCHEDULING NOTE: Strong Songs will be off in December, and will
return for Year Two on January 8, 2020. If you're a patron over
on Patreon, that means you won't be charged for the month of
December.


That also makes December a great month catch up on episodes you
may have missed, share the show with your friends, listen to Year
One playlists, and enjoy a hopefully very musical holiday season.
