So we are all looking forward to the Solstice this weekend and as the year turns and some people still celebrate a minority cult that started when St Paul latched on to a minor messiah, and forced his ideals on us, and Jesus.
We look back at the records that shaped the year. Many of them will be available over at Lucky's Record Bar and he would be pleased if you would like to exchange some money for them as gifts for your loved ones, I'm sure.

Hello everyone, I started a fundraiser on GoFundMe and would appreciate your support. Every single share and donation makes a difference and helps me get closer to my goal.
The Tunes hard drive is poorly. It is in the hard drive hospital. To keep the show fresh and full of great music we need funds to get him home. Please share and help if you can.
