Songs with BIG Openings – The Dennis and Judi Music Hour

Every Friday at noon Dennis and Judi take a break from the work week and have some fun with the “Dennis and Judi Music Hour.”   Every week the theme switches and this week’s theme was “songs with BIG openings.” You know the songs Dennis and Judi are talking about, the songs that you crank on your iPod or in your car as soon as you here the first beat because it is so recognizable.

Dennis and Judi actually kicked off the music hour discussing an new artist that they just learned about Ed Sheeran. They probably heard more about him from co-workers and listeners than they wanted to and said the Sheeran reminded them of someone who they'd see serving them coffee somewhere. But they did admit after listening to him , that his songs are catchy.
