As always, I want to say a big thank you to all the artists and all the listeners who make this show work. I literally could not do this show without you!
Please send me comments if you like what you hear (or even if you don’t… feedback is so important!). In a few months the show will be one year old and I’m going to do a special anniversary edition. If you have any requests to hear a particular track or band again then do let me know. See you for the next episode!
