March 12th & 19tth

Hey All,

I'm out of town for a couple weeks. The shows airing on the 12th and 19th are re-runs (or "encore presentations" as the big shots say). These were recorded before I started keeping track of playlists. Hope you enjoyed hearing them again...or for the first time.

I'll be back close to live on the 26th--during the pledge drive.

Dave
