THURSDAY MORNING MIX

Had an opportunity to interview Samantha Crain and the Midnight Shivers on Wednesday. It has been committed to tape and will be featured during KRFC's Live at Lunch program on a date to be determined. Can't wait to put it on the air; the band sounded terrific and Samantha was in fine voice. The interview segments won't win any awards, unfortunately. I'm guessing that Ms Crain either lacks interview experience at her young age, or she's so tired of folks like me tossing her questions about stuff we researched online.

The Gods of Music have opened the floodgates this week, with no fewer than ten (10) debuts on our TMM playlist. Potentially the most promising is Amy Speace's Killer In Me.
