Gene Shay was supportive and very easy to work with. He seemed impressed, though he is hard to read.
I'm guessing that it sounded better in the room than it did on the air. Someone made a recording for me off the Internet and the mix is pretty bad. The songs themselves, however, came through loud and clear.
Over all, a very good night, what with the Phillies great win on top of the show.
hey unc, Rents came and visited, the state radio CD's did not get mailed to you before i left, but they will be enroute once mom and dad are back home. with luck that means they'll get there before Xmas. Dad left me a guitar and told me to self-teach, so here i sit, summer of 69 style with fingers bleeding.
