Hey there all you guys and gals. Welcome to the BLOGMEISTER's sock hop! We have put together for your reading and listening pleasure the the greatest selection of hit songs that any Windsor Mayor could ever want for his Theme song.
Time-Life Records has nothing on us!
You can get a 9 CD collection of all of these songs at a cost of only a 5.9% increase in your 2009 tax bill. And, thanks to the good folks at MPAC, we'll even throw in a bonus CD at an extra 1% tax boost since house prices are falling for most folks, making it 10 CDs in all!
Whew, the list of songs is long even if some of the titles are not too complimentary either. Hey don't blame us if that's the message being delivered in three quarter time.
Thanks for helping out the good folks at Strap-on 800, CKLW, find a new theme for their Eddie Francis interview show. Here are some suggestions received from readers like you so far.
