Hey Mona - rare that I get the chance to listen live. Your shows usually form the perfect soundtrack to the fortnightly life drawing sessions I host at a hair salon here in London. Thank you, as they say, for the music X

...tho both the Eclecticist & the Purist may be opposed to the Mainstream. & probly are.
The Ecelecticist appreciates the Purist as Preservationist - if the Purist may regard the Eclecticist as promiscuous.
