Rattle Your Bones!

It's that semi-annual time once again - our beloved community radio station seeks autumnal support from all corners to help us keep doing what we love to do. On Sunday 10/23, Jeanne will be in the role of day-captain from 3p.m. thru the end of that night's installment of our monthly show, Strictly Slambovian. As a special treat, Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams will be phoning in to lend their voices in support. We are encouraging all listeners, friends, past guests, and do-gooders to please contribute--no donation too small (or big).

The specifics here:

Come On Irene

Hurricane Irene put a serious damper on our August show (we had to cancel) and our thoughts go out to all those who were (and still are) affected. Fortunately the skies were clear for a fun time in September in our cozy Slambovian studio. We spun songs from September 23 on Stage One in Fairfield, CT along with July's annual Guthrie Center show which was of course right here in Great Barrington, MA. Meanwhile in non-music-related banter, we try to figure out homilies, homonyms, synonyms, & antonyms--results still pending.
