"Over The Hill?" May 2, 2008

(Week 121)

This RADIOLA! is in observance of my odometer kicking over another year. But I feel pretty good--honest I do. Age is just a number, isn't it? (Of course, that number is about to get larger by one.)

Tune in tonight to WHCL at 8 PM Eastern (with Shoutcast streaming HERE) and I'll be uploading the show to my Live365 station this weekend.
