Another fun show last night. Andy was back from tour and as things worked out, we didn’t have any guests, which meant less talk and more rock. In homage to Hot IQs, who recently announced their impending split, we kicked off the show with three back-to-back songs from the group,…

So I had my first solo flight on Wednesday night. Since the show launched in December, I’ve always had a co-host, even when Andy was conspicuously absent as he was this past Wednesday. Andy couldn’t make it this time because evidently, his band was, like, um, gallivanting across the country…

All right, I gotta admit: It felt a little bit weird at first being back on the air last night after a two-week, self-imposed hiatus. Got sidelined by a nasty sinus/ear/throat infection the first week, while an infected tooth, which later got pulled, conspired with a hockey game and a…
