A lot of classic country (and a bit of BG, too)...

As you may know, for the last month or so, I've been doing a regular fill-in on Tuesday afternoons from 1-3PM. APOC generally hosts a program she calls "The Getaway" during that time period, and she plays a mix of jam band, acoustic, rock, and hip-hop. However, between the Winter Break and her new class schedule, she cannot do a show in this time slot right now, so I get to step in with a classic country and BG fill-in. This is always fun for me -- to "stretch out" a bit from the straight BG programming. Best of all, APOC doesn't mind me changing the format of her show a little bit. I'll be doing these Tuesdays for another two weeks, as our WHUS show schedule will change again beginning on Thursday, February 11th at midnight. Please join me, if you're so inclined....
