Listening to the tracks thus far triggers sweet memories of a time of peace and happiness for me. I know this is only momentary as tonight's show must come to an end, but it's so comforting to know that this era had such a positive and lasting impact on me. Wait ... Momentary??? Me thinks not ... thank you for On Demand baby! I'll be listening again anytime I want to feel this good again. Mr. F ... you've knocked it out of the park once again. Thank you!

KD: You captured the sentiment exactly! It's like you're here in the studio soaking in the sentiment with me. 45 years past. Still here and as alive as ever!
