Welcome to Episode 82 of the Musical Circle, hosted, written, and directed by Ben Charles. In this episode, Ben pays tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and, to some degree, Chuck Mangione, as both musicians passed away hours apart from each other. Ben also brings back the New Waves Section, the Jazzy Checkpoint Section, and the Soul Section for this episode. This will be an emotional rollercoaster, so sit back, enjoy, have some fun, and most importantly, smile. Also, the Jonas Brothers and the singer Sombr both make their debuts on this episode.
