Two absolute masterpieces in great new editions, highly recommend them!

Have a great week! And to help you do so, here is a quote of inspiration from John Tesh:

"I grew up wanting to be a musician, but my parents were sure I would starve to death. So, they put me in physics and chemistry. That eventually blew up, and I got into radio."

WHO IS HARRY NILSSON?

A great doc in the "best-musician-you've-never-heard-of" category, played at Ragtag and well worth a watch, even if he's not a lady.

So, ladies, see anything you like? So, I guess, I don't know, if you want to maybe...rent them sometime? I mean, no pressure, it's just that, uh, it'd be cool if you could see them I guess. I mean, if you want to. Uh, I guess I'll see you around then, okay, bye.
