Episode 2 - Surfin' Man!

Well, some folks seemed to have enjoyed the live format of the Platter Party! program, so here we are for a second episode. Since we're experiencing something of a heatwave here in Minnesota, I thought it was prime weather to dust the sand and sea salt off the box of surf and surf-adjacent 45s and give those a spin for today's show.

Slather on your sunscreen, grab your tiny transistor radio and put on your baggies, because today on Party Platter! we're hitting the beach!
