i wonder how long it will take for my tshirt to arrive?
Nice piece in the Chronicle today David! Great start to an annual wonderful event.
what was the name of the Dan HIcks number you played?
“Somebody Stole My Santa Claus Suit.” There’s a cool version of it on his CD “Crazy for Christmas.” http://www.danhicks.net
NYC loves Mark Karan! YEAH!!!! ?
damn, that was OUTSTANDING Mark!! I’m kind of in a dream from it! Just GRAND!
Jerry’s beautiful spirit lives on through the music.
thanx David & everyone else involved (Tim, Bonnie, all volunteers and suppliers of what we heard today) for another fantastic GD marathon, I had to leave the house to do some stuff for a little bit but listened today perhaps more than any other year I’ve gotten to enjoy GD marathon. I hope that it was a huge success for the station we all so love!
