Hi, all. Everybody doing OK? I hope so, but I know you're dealing with hard times. I miss my friends, live music, my regular DJ gigs, being at the radio station, and the freedom to be out and about without having to think about it. But, I know that staying home is the right thing to do right now.
A new edition of "Easy Ed's Variety Hour" was posted last night, April 10. You can listen here. We also had another Friday night record hop last night on Facebook ("Easy Ed Spins the Platters"). Unfortunately, the recorded archive did not work this time so you won't find it on podbean. But here is a link to the Facebook livestream videos. (There are two because the feed broke at one point and we had to restart.)
