Heather here. (too lazy to log in as 'Duckboots')

I'm afraid the transmitter went down again for the second time in five years. Needless to say, both times were during 'Acoustic Workshop'. I did send our guest (Chris White) home after half an hour, because there was no guarantee he'd be on at all to talk about Canadian Folk Festivals over the summer. When we came back on air I discovered that one of our CD players was down, and the other wasn't tracking right. This normally doesn't phase Rick as he just babbles on while I try to fix things, but it's hard to talk coherently on-air while giving bloody great thumps to balky equipment. He was doing a gig last night, but got home in time to hear the frustration in my voice. Should have played Kristoferson's "Why Me Lord"?

Duckboots

P.S. I've been wearing my duckboots a lot lately, and the garden's coming along nicely. Rick has installed a bird feeder, and is actually taking an interest in the different feathered feeders who drop by every day.
