This week on the program, I plan to smooth out all the rough edges and play an hour of nothing but Sade. Why? Because we can and also because of the music of Sade is borderline therapeutic, something we can definitely all use a little more of in our lives. So I invite you to tune in, take a deep breath, and just relax to the awesomely soothing power of Sade's music.
