#18: Farewells and Happy Birthdays

This week, I pay tribute to people who have died and those who are celebrating birthdays. Luckily for two of my siblings (there are even more than that), I give them birthday shout-outs and play songs that will remind us of when we all lived under one roof, with one computer and one television a.k.a. The Turn of the Century. Please bear with me through "Rico Suave": it ends swiftly and you'll never have to listen to it on this show again. I promise.
