And that’s my opinionated opinion for this week. Ta ta!
I imagine if you are a fan of Bill Mallonee’s work with VoL you probably already know about his free download offer on his site. If not, he is offering his “Summershine” project for FREE.

A quick post to thank the good folks at True North Records for providing us with music to play on the soon coming music and talk version of Humble O Radio.
Hopefully independent artists and labels will follow soon, I hope so.
While I am at it I will take the time to thank a few of the artists and/or their labels for helping us to establish our library for the launch of our station.

I don’t usually sign autographs at my shows. I just don’t like it. To me, it is a dead ritual that means nothing. Not because I dislike people but more because I know my own failures, shortcomings and insecurities that find me every day.
