Music
Everybody sing! "Here comes program 65, all dressed in white..." Well, I wore a black dress, actually. Yes, archive show #65 is composed of mostly wedding songs, in honor of our wedding of September 30, 2005! Helping us celebrate are Eddie Mekjian, Ozel Turkbas, Hakki Obadia, and so many more!
