Today was a wonderful day to start with. Last night we attended the Fluttr Effect concert in Philadelphia, PA. It was an incredible show. Imagine Tori Amos mixed with King Crimson and a dose of insanity and you get Fluttr Effect. Incredible band that has accepted our offer to play in our studios in the spring. Unfortunately, I had to get up at 7am today to get special access to the Military base to be a part of an expedition that would take us to the old Hanover Furnace excavation. I shouldn't even say unfortunately....for those that know me...I am a huge history buff. To see the test shot cannonballs from the early 1800's was inspirational. What a humbling feeling. For god's sake, we even saw the old Mill Cogs...amazing. At any rate...I was in a stupor the rest of the day. The program went very well as usual with average listenership. Our program peaked at 10:45 with 139 listeners while Fareed Haque Group was featured. Then it shot up again at 11:45 while we premiered the new Underground Railroad disc with 140 as well. We let the Aural Moon listeners pick our guest interview to played due to the fact the Crafty Guitarist cancelled due to a bad Flu that hit a few of the members. We welcomed new listeners tonight from Maidstone, Britain; Stockholm, Sweden; Mont-Saint-Aignan, France; and stateside here at the Delaware Water Gap; Durham, NC; Reston, VA; and Atlanta GA. Tonight's program ran exactly 3 Hours and 58 minutes.
