My apologies to all listening tonight. We experienced a technical glitch around 9:15 that threw us off the air for about 15 minutes. These things happen, but I wish they wouldn't. If you came back after we got our act together, thank you for sticking with the show tonight. Brand new show Monday night, 10:00 pm as usual.

You'll hear bands from every corner of the country. Broadcast time is 9:00 pm, WSRX-FM, 107.9 in the Vernon, NJ area, or stream it live on vernonfm.org!
