[UPDATE 2013 Feb 17: Realized that final track of show was actually a repeat of "Real Gone Crazy Dub." This program is archived now, so a golden moment lives forever.]
At times, it was difficult to get people to commit to airtime during the WRFI fundraiser. We were / are a bit understaffed, not everyone has programming ideas or a "concept" for an ongoing program, others have ideas for programs but aren't ready to roll them out yet, people have better things to do with their Saturday afternoons [not me, of course], and so ...

At times, it was difficult to get people to commit to airtime during the WRFI fundraiser. We were / are a bit understaffed, not everyone has programming ideas or a "concept" for an ongoing program, others have ideas for programs but aren't ready to roll them out yet, people have better things to do with their Saturday afternoons [not me, of course], and so on. This is one of two instances in which I stepped in to fill a void. I just loaded up my case with a bunch of random reggae and ska collections. Naturally, the lack of planning led to a great show.
"Sapsquatch" is not a person but a side venture undertaken by Josh, who is now a friend of the program. We had a really good conversation, both on and off-air. He'll be back on the show, and we're hoping he also gets a show of his own.
Meanwhile: if you're living in the Ithaca / Watkins Glen / Odessa area, consider "liking" Gardens 4 Humanity and attending their Pop-Up Kitchen series. I really do miss the ABC Cafe, despite how deadpan I sound at the moment I say it.
Lots of mistakes during this show--playing the wrong track on a cd, etc. "No show would be complete," and all that. No "Listening Parlour" selections this time out due to short notice. Sorry, peeps, you're stuck with me.
