A Special Memorial Day Show on the Nicole Sandler Show 5-25-26
Well, today should be really different! For the past few years, I’ve done special Memorial Day music shows with songs that really are about honoring the brave men and women who were killed while fighting in wars, ostensibly to protect our country.
While preparing for today’s show, I came across one from 2023 that originally aired on the Fri before Memorial Day and my dear friend, “Boca” Britany Somers was on with me for the whole hour.
Brit died last week, and she was a veteran, so I thought we’d just replay that one to honor her. But as I went through it this morning, I realized that there are some parts I can’t play. So, while editing it, I found out that my main website had been hacked and is not working at all… So I’m kind of in hell right now. But I’ve come up with a solution that should work. We’ll have some surprises, but I’ll be working and playing it all live. Oh well, so much for a relaxing day off…
My Website is almost back up…. still working on it. But it should be working correctly by tomorrow (should being the operative word).
