Spring Forward
The times they are a-changin’… literally. In the wee hours of Sunday we move one hour ahead. In the QOTD we’ve got TIME on our mind!

On the anniversary of General MacArthur’s most famous quote, we are NOT playing MacArthur Park! We are playing songs about returning, though. A nice thought, right? Returning home, Spring returning, etc. Your songs here!
Even though it’s been weeks since the last, awful snowstorm, broken and battered trees are lying all over the place across the tri-state – making us think about the beauty of these objects that we so often take for granted. We pay tribute to the trees in today’s QOTD with some songs that feature the mighty oak, the spreading chestnut, and the towering pine!
Let’s get some more trees in our concrete jungle! Check out http://milliontreesnyc.org/html/home/home.shtml
It turns out the was the first person to travel to space, Yuri Gagarin, was born on this day. Claudia recently found out that her high school classmate, George Zamka, is an astronaut and the commander of Space Shuttle Endeavor last month. We’re blasting off into the musical world of space cadets!
It’s National Sleep Awareness Week, it sounds like the dumbest thing we’ve ever heard, but it’s a good excuse to play songs about sleep!
So we heard that the nominees for this year’s best original songs will not be performing at the Oscars. Fine. Be that way. BUT we love soundtrack songs and are looking for your all time favorite!
Claudia’s back from vacation, and among the souvenirs that she stuffed into her suitcase was some local music. In today’s QOTD we’re playing the music you discovered while on vacay!
