Hey friends.
WMFO just completed a major technical overhaul. We were off the air for a short time while the work was being completed, but now we’re back and sounding better than ever. So tune in this Friday at 6:00 PM for a state-of-the-art, sonically enhanced version of “Easy Ed’s Variety Hour”—two hours of Rockabilly, Hillbilly, R&B, and Rock and Roll!
**Where: WMFO in Medford, MA (91.5 FM). Listen live through iTunes (Radio/Public/WMFO) or the station's Web site (http://www.wmfo.org/)
**When: Friday (4/3) at 6:00 PM Eastern.

and download archived MP3s of past shows whenever you like. The song list from my last show appears at the bottom of this message if you want to check it out.
