    Hey Billy! Just wanted to say hey! I don't know whats up with the KHSU radio show. They have promised to FINALLY air it this month. I guess late is better than never.
    I hope all is well with you! We had some other guests swing through our area, and none of them have been as sweet and compassionate as you! :)

    Take care! xxxx
