RADIO SHOW and Interviews

Large numbers of hours are spent with my radio show, and I am going to post the interviews that I do for you to be able to download in case you missed them during the original on-air broadcast. I have removed the full-length compositions (they are faded in/out for a flavor of the artist's sound) and encourage you to purchase their cds, especially directly from the artists' suggested spot, as even purchased music doesn't necessarily benefit the artist. (POSTED BELOW)

Enjoy!

Don't forget to tune in each Monday night from 8-11 pm (Eastern) to the show, Straight No Chaser, on WSHA 88.9 fm. If you are curious about a song you've heard, drop me an email for the playlist info.

And if you'd like to get monthly newsletters about what's happening in my crazy world, please sign up for the letter (always bcc and never shared!) on the Contacts page.

'Til next time ~
