Thanks for your well thought lists and archived radio shows. Only surprise to me is no Peter Case. Really enjoying the rest of your stuff as well. Appreciate your work and encourage you to keep truckin’…
Thanks much, Billy. I’ve not listened to a lot of Peter Case—though I really like some his songs, such as “Traveling Light.” I also really like the tribute records, “A Case for Case.” I’ll try to listen to him more.
