Thematic Static: Songs about sickness and health

As seasons change and the weather (finally) cools and the October calendar is stacked with all things live music, sports and maybe even some pumpkin patchin’, it’s important to stay well so you don’t miss out. We conjured preventative maintenance and healing even by playing songs about illness when asking for your requests on the theme “sickness and health.” Enjoy the show plus more requests (in the Spotify playlist) that we couldn’t fit into the hour on WNXP.

Thank you, United Record Pressing, for supporting this show. And happy 75th anniversary of making vinyl records right here in Nashville! Remember, WNXP listeners, you can make requests on our socials anytime but ESPECIALLY for Thematic Static @wnxpnashville. You might also leave us voicemails to play when you call 615-320-9100, you radio star, you.
