Playlist for the Unpopular Music Webcast for March 17, 2018

Happy Evacuation Day every one!! While celebrating the retreat of the British Army from Boston on March 17, 1776, we also mark the Ides of March and any other holidays that might be going on - when is Purim this year? (Tikva says it's come and gone already. Oh well), along with other non-holiday occasions with the usual slice of the infinite variety of music (a bit more poppy this week than usual) in unexpected combinations.

(I think I made the assumption that you all know that Evacuation Day is a holiday in the city of Boston, created as making a saint's feast day a civic holiday goes against the US Constitution's first amendment prohibition against the government recognizing religion, a secular event occurring on March 17th has to be commemorated.)
