By popular request (and also because I am traveling this week), we presented an encore edition of The Boudin Barndance this evening. It was a rebroadcast of the 2025 favorites show from Jan 1, 2026. For those who had to hear it twice, I apologize. For those who missed the original show, hope you enjoyed.
Encore synopsis:
The first Boudin Barndance radio show of 2026 began by looking back at 2025 and playing tracks from some favorite albums from the past year with our top 20 or so during the final half of the program. If you missed the show, check out the LISTEN HERE link above to hear the archive. Buttshaker of the week????
