I finally got around to acquiring the latest compilation of collegiate a cappella recordings. Kind of amazing what these kids can make happen in a studio. Not sure how "a cappella" it is when filtered through so many electronics, but there you have it.
Today's show is the usual mix of old favorites and new-to-me tunes. Enjoy!
