Today's episode of Random Song Encounters arrives with a heavier heartbeat than usual. Last Friday, our family lost one of its guiding lights after a long battle with cancer. Elisa was a matriarch in every sense — fierce, funny, grounding, and full of life. Tomorrow we gather to celebrate her journey, her stories, and her unmistakable glow.
Season 4, Episode 2 carries a title pulled straight from her spirit: “How Bout’ That!” — a phrase she tossed into conversations like confetti.
We’re bending the format a bit this week. Segment 2 features a brand‑new track that speaks to grief in all its shapes — the ache, the reach, the reminder that sharing your sorrow is an act of courage, not burden.
The rest of the episode is stacked with eight decades of our signature sonic wanderlust. Wherever you’re listening — desert highway, neon city, quiet living room — raise a glass to Elisa or someone you carry in your heart. Keep the good stuff flowing, and keep looking out for each other.
