* Car radio that is. Too cold to stand on the car and listen to you, unless you do it in the underground parking space!

7:53 PM, January 8th, 2022
Steve Kirkland (host)
Thanks for listening in, and for your comments... stay safe, warm and happy... jusqu'à la prochaine fois

Steve, I like finding new music. I occasionally have the gaul to think that I'm OK at searching. And then I open up any of your playlists. I don't recognize 5 percent of what you dig up. After your Dec 11 show, I bought Marissa Paternoster's Peace Meter. Terrific album. Terrific show. Keep it up Steve, and thank you.

Steve, if ever you get a chance to listen to Matt Andersen *live*, he's one of those performers referred to as "a force of nature". Bit of a cliché that, but applies in spades to him.

Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi Tom, always glad to turn over something new. even for the most seasoned music fan. Cheers
