Thanks Ben for including a Dave Kusworth related song. I heard an interview with Stephen Duffy (Lilac Time) talking about gathering some of his very early recordings he did with Dave Kusworth with the band The Hawks for a release later this year. Looking forward to hearing that.

Hey Jas, was just thinking earlier that - while we all miss other forms of Saturday night music - I don't really miss DJing in January when it's -20 to a mostly empty room.

8:52 PM, January 23rd, 2021
Jas Nasty
I dunno even that sounds pretty good right now! :)

9:06 PM, January 23rd, 2021
