2-16-17 - PLAYGROUND FUNK SPECIAL
Subbed for Da Art of Broadcastin’ with @saffron-queen and @wiggleroomkuci last night, and we played two joyful hours of Playground Funk (ie, music made by kids, for kids, or that we can imagine double-dutching to). Hope these tunes make you bop as hard as we did in the studio last night!!
