Just joined in a few minutes ago. No GHASTLY ex-mess mall thus far ... not sleigh bell was harmed. Relief..... BAN SCHLOCKY MALL MUSIC FOREVER.

Hey Mr. B! Thanks for tuning in. In fair warning, there well be xmas music later in the show. Hopefully of the non-schlock variety.

Ha Renny! I did not expect a 10CC quote from you! I hope the island sounds can counter the crazy winter weather.
