It’s Spring Cleaning 2026 on Wednesday’s “Theme Attic,” 12PM-4PM EDT!!!

 

 

 

 

 

  • It’s time for the annual Spring Cleaning show on Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” with @philmaq from 12PM-4PM EDT!

    Now this isn’t your normal type of spring cleaning.

    What I do is replace some great music on my player with more recent great music!

    It’s a chance for me to focus on songs that didn’t fit one of my themes in the past year or so for various reasons.

    There will be a lot of local, too!

    And I want to make it clear that the albums in the banner are not included as this year’s cleaning!

    They will receive a nice track and introduction to it!

    Just like all of the other songs and artists I play!

    A Top 9 at 2:09 of this week’s album will add to the fun!

    So, get ready to multitask on “Theme Attic” today from 12PM-4PM EDT!

    Share with a friend!
