Thanks for the heads up. I can't say I know any of these bands, but I will certainly try to listen online, for old time's sake. Go CHRW!
That is often the nature of local independent releases Barbara. The nice thing- You will likely be hearing about at least one of them this year.
That I can guarantee. Glad to hear you are still willing to listen to the mighty RW. I would lost without that radio beacon in my life.
