It was hot in the studio (as it will be all summer) and I was starting to get fussy, but I pushed through and delivered a show for you.
If you find that you miss me, I’ll be doing a bonus show on July 4th, from 6 to 8 pm.
As always, you can hear my delightful music selections every Friday night on Chicago’s own CHIRP Radio, from 8 – 10 pm Central time.
