PiKA Party Tunes
Rock has been busy preparing the play list for Saturday night’s house party. His current thinking is down below, followed by requested adds from others. (I added numbers for easy reference.)
UVa PiKA Playlist 1981 on Spotify
Ders had his daughter (the Lawnie?) put this into a Spotify playlist. Open this link on the device you use for Spotify and enjoy.
Warning: the first song I heard was by Speidel, Goodrich, Goggin & Lille. They never did much for me personally but I would show up because they always attracted tons of girls. The rest of the playlist [mostly] rocks.
