THURSDAY MORNING MIX

April 29, 2010

Thanks to everyone who called in or logged on to support KRFC during our "Spring" Membership Drive. I place "Spring" in quotation marks owing to the fact that there were two inches of snow on the ground as the episode began this morning ... Remarkably, it proved to be the most productive drive I've had since I started riding the community radio donkey.

The morning found me paired with JoAnn of Friday Morning Mix fame, and was replete with witty banter aplenty. While it wasn't as chock-full of new stuff as your average episode, we were able to spend some quality time with Elizabeth Cook's excellent new release ("El Camino" features some truly fun lyrics). We also launched further into Yarn's superb Come On In. Some of the best alt.country being made today.
