when illness strikes

so much for my plans of working with lonesome cowboy bill on kjhk last saturday. i made it through the night before with my wife and had a fun time, but early the next morning was struck with a nice batch of stomach flu. first time in years i've had that evil stuff. thanks to bill for soldiering on for me and harry, who covered for me sunday with very little notice. the show this sunday will be what i was planning to do last week. unfortunately, i don't think it's as good as the show harry did on short notice. i also have lots of leftovers from what i planned to use on the show with bill, so i'm going to use them the week after next to do something different. some of you may know that i'm collaborating on a blues cd for the next kkfi fund drive. more about that later, but it will be all local artists, including some who have left the city, but whose roots are here. we hope to have it done before the next fund drive. we had planned a two cd set, but i think we'll settle for one this time. thanks for all the nice phone calls last friday from kkfi listeners while we were on kjhk. we hope to have the signal back at full strength before long. oh yes, before i go..i'll post harry's playlist to the blog as soon as he delivers it to me.
