We served up another double dose of Thematic Static over two weeks, because there is simply no shortage of songs written about — and many times also for — dancing. A WNXP listener named Sharone requested this theme months ago, by snail mail , so I started the first show with one of her suggestions, Ms. Whitney!
Check out the archived shows and full playlists from June 6 and June 13 ( ). Leave future requests, stories and theme ideas at wnxp.org/feedback so we can air YOUR voice on Nashville’s Music Experience!
