I'm just getting back tonight from New York, New York, the city so nice they had to name it twice.  I picked up a bunch of new CDs and LPs, and graciously received promo CDs for the show from Luques Curtis, Fabian Almazan, Etienne Charles, Brian Hogans, George Colligan, and Amanda Tosoff which will definitely be showing up on the show in the next few weeks.

As for tomorrow's show, I will be joined in the studio by two fabulous vocalists, Amber Epp and Heitha Forsyth, who will be talking about their upcoming show at the Park Theatre on Sunday.  Don't miss it!!  4pm on UMFM 101.5.
