Thanks Mick, that is so nice of you to say. I really appreciate it.

Having the Mudcat community to turn to has been a help to me in more ways than you could imagine. In addition to discovering some wonderful musicians and CD's to share with my listeners, I have also turned to Mudcat for help in research for background information. Along the way, I realized that this is truly a family - as cliche as that may sound. What I originally thought was a tool for my radio work has become something much bigger and personal. The knowledge, ideas and generosity of the people who post here has brightened many a day for me. Thank you all, and a very Merry Christmas!

I will be checking in to this thread while I host the show today. If anyone has a request, please post it here and I will make every attempt to include it in the show.

Ron
