“It’s a cold world out there, I think I’m getting a little frostbitten myself.” The one lawyer lady in The Big Chill.

The year after after the 9/11 attacks, the radio station where I was dj’ing, wpts, suggested that everyone play only instrumental tracks on 9/11 in order to atone for this unfortunate day and honor those who had fallen. I have made this a tradition ever since and this year is no different. Enjoy!
