Playlists?

These past couple of Sundays, I've been unable to copy and paste my playlists onto this blog, and I truly don't feel like typing them all over again.

Please go to www.whus.org, click on DJs, and then click on my name (Susan Forbes Hansen). My playlists are posted there at the end of each show. Thanks for your interest!
