The best thing about freeform radio of the 60s and early 70s was that the DJs could play anything they wanted. The music drove the program in any direction. The Free Space is the program that does that on The Balcony . . . and in Episode 2 we play whatever we can wrap our grubby paws around. Too much music to choose from! Now, check out the playlist below and wrap your paws around some music from your local music vendor.
