Here’s a list of what I played on my 2/13/09 show. If you missed the program and want to hear it, just go to http://www.easy-ed.net/ to download the archive MP3.Thank you to everyone who came out to the Midway last Friday for the Rollin' Pins/Swinedells event. Both bands rocked the rafters! Sunday’s Cranktones/Coachmen show was pretty amazing too, especially the surprise final set by “Elvis Presky.”
Here’s another great show coming up on March 21. (I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m the luckiest DJ around!)
