Feels great to be back behind the board!  Finally put an end to the over two year hiatus from the radio, couldn’t be much happier.  The new studio is amazing with all sorts of added toys, buttons, flashing lights & shiny things.  Throw in a new song logging system, a sexy new board plus a vicious head cold and you have a decent idea about of my first outing.  A little turbulence here and there but things are sure to fall into that good ol’ groove.   Enough of all that racket, here’s your chance to hear it again or listen at your leisure.
