Every Thursday we aim to fill an entire hour with songs that fit a particular theme. This week it was “The Power of 3”… so any band name or song title consisting of three letters. No more; no less (though arguments were made for some)! Here are the suggested songs we were able to play:
Michael Jackson – PYT (Pretty Young Thing)

Backstreet Boys (BSB) – I Want It That Way
OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) – If You Leave
