Holidays were, as usual, chaos. This week we are very, very pleased to welcome Susan Plunkett to our Fortress of Solitude. Susan owned Jazzberrys. Many tales to tell. We'll also hear what Susan's up to now. Episode may be out this week or next, we're dealing with some holiday gremlins Greg brought back from the North Pole. Whenever it arrives, it will be well worth a listen. Happy 2025!

Due to an emergency health situation, this week's episode is postponed. We will have Don & Ron back as soon as possible, hopefully on the 30th. This serves as another reminder about what's really important in life. Our apologies to everyone looking forward to listening on Monday. We promise to make it well worth the wait.

This Monday in the Carnival. Greg is in the North Pole playing drums for Santa's elves. Will that stop us from bringing holiday cheer? You must have visions of sugar plums if you think so. Hot on the heels of the announcement that Black Sheep is a member of the Rochester Music HOF class of 2025, friend of the Carnival Don Mancuso returns. We can always use an extra drummer, Ron Rocco joins him. Maybe a mystery drummer, too. Christmas shopping can wait. Join us Monday morning, or Greg will Santa to bring you coal. Cheers!
