Playlist on its way...

Hey All,

April 1st was the much talked about dog show...if you tuned in, you know I had an awfully darn good co-host, Matt Carlson. At any rate, the playlist seems to have disappeared. I'm pretty sure I'll track it down soon.

As always, thanks for listening to KMSU and Listen to Your Folks.
