"Covered...By A Heat Dome": THE LONG WEEKEND MIX


 

Everyone loves a good cover. And it's been some time since I put together a mix of covers. And I will not claim that the covers on this mix have not been shared here before. But I will claim to have enjoyed them all in this setting.

So when you get back from watching the plate spinners, and the collie that plays "Peg O'My Heart" on the xylophone at the White House State Fair, sit somewhere cool and enjoy the mix.

Be safe everyone.

    1. I first posted it in 2010 and then again in 2013 and 2016, and you commented on it, so it may have gotten lost in your files! Put it somewhere safe! :)
