"Summer Smorgasbord" July 21, 2006

(Week 48)

The hot weather demands an array of lighter fare, a musical version of one of those family picnics where everyone brings a variation on three-bean salad. There is no heavy theme to oppress us this week--only cool drinks, badminton, and maybe a song from that crazy aunt of yours who always wanted to sing opera.

The fun begins at 7 PM EDT on WHCL.
