The Song Exchange (Thursdays, 2:00 p.m. CT)

In this group, we’ll listen to our favorite songs, discuss, reminisce, and recommend old and new favorites. You can come prepared with a few songs to share for each week’s topic, or you can listen along with us. There are no wrong answers; all songs are welcome! Just tell us the title of a song, and we’ll do the rest!
