I feel like I'm 18 again, listening to KXLU or WNYU in the middle of the night, only without having to angle the antenna periodically to minimize the static, or watching the "stereo" FM pilot light flicker on and off.

Aww thanks Ken. I can't ask for more than that! I'm really pleased you

And I remember those days - but for me it was more trying to get

Better dust off the old guitar for some more material for the
