I know, I know. I was the one screaming the loudest and the longest about local news hyping first the Microsoft system upgrades and the the latest iThing of the moment, but this ain’t no news program and I am promoting this for a reason. I try to get you guys interested in music, which isn’t always easy, and the I have to listen to the “there ain’t no good music anymore” and “it’s all been done before” excuses. Well, here we are, then. I have some music for you which not only precludes the music that was good before good became bad, but it’s on sale. That’s right.
