It’s the Two Shakes’ wedding anniversary! And Year Four calls for fruit and flowers, which is why every song you hear today will have sweet, springy undertones. A few faves include a Neil Diamond ode to a cherry, Minnie Riperton’s classic, a stripped down version of The Beatles’ Strawberry Fields, a country block dedicated to flowers, and so many more!
