Pete! Good to hear from you. I remember you from way back when, making musical instruments (I still have one of your tongue-drums - I believe you made it). You used to call in every now and again to chat from the edge of our listening area west in the Ottawa valley. Thanks for your kind words! I hope you're doing well. Keep on listening for more surprises!
