Fri, July 29: Another reason to celebrate this year’s seventh month was that it contained five (5) complete weekends of Friday–Saturday–Sundays—what better reason for hearing songs based on math. For the final July series, we asked our guests to bring their favorite quantities of something to share, so we got one keg of beer, two bowls of guacamole, three bags of chips, four calling birds, etc.
