Hello and happy Wednesday!!!

When last we left Long Player, we were anxiously waiting for a new weekly timeslot for the show. Since then, most unfortunately, we were not able to make a regular weekly slot work this semester.

THAT SAID: we will STILL be broadcasting occasional special shows and interviews this fall! All information about what’s on and when to listen will be posted right here on the ol’ Long Player Facebook home, so stay tuned!!! And just remember you can always hear tons of great music on WCSF via http://listen.streamon.fm/wcsf.

As always, thank you for listening! Til next time, may your day be as bright, Bachy, and utterly brilliant as “Mayor of Simpleton” by XTC.
