Good afternoon, everyone!

Good Afternoon from a long time listener.

I'm so glad to have such a great station like WPRB and I've donated to help keep it going. Such a great place for a huge variety of music.

Hi Vaughn, nice to hear from you!

WPRB does indeed depend on donations for its budget, so we appreciate you. I appreciate the fact you are a long time listener!

Nice to hear from you to Jerry. Thnx for doing what you do.

Again, appreciated Vaughn.

Yes I've donated each year since you started asking for help & this year i gave 2x bc it is important to me to have all these great programs on the air.

It's not an easy time for people of moderate means to make donations. It is a heroic act!

Thanks from WPRB

I know it has been difficult but I try to help whenever I can bc I don't want to lose this station.

Billy Childs sounds amazing. I love this song.

He is a superb artist, very very talented. Glad to hear you are enjoying this very subtle track.

I was driving during the Billy Childs track and finally got a chance to look up who the drummer was: Eric Harland. He sounds fantastic on that track.

Hi Bud, yeah, he is a prolific drummer, first choice for musicians everywhere, including Charles Lloyd. are you a drummer?

No, but I was impressed with the way he navigated the time changes. I've mostly heard him with Dave Holland.

I will go back, relisten to the track, and focus on his drumming.

He's one of those guys who makes shifting time signatures sound completely natural.

Now that's an insightful compliment!
