So glad to see another listener from Philly! Howdy Tim! I'm working on an old VB6 app (for a friend, ugh, not quite as fun as I imagine art work would be:-)

Terre, I came in right as you were back as you were back announcing Brother JT -- Yeow! Something new!? I can't wait to check out the archive! Aside from that, I'm just happy to get to comment. They disallow it at my day job.

Sat. 11/29/08 4:55pm gee:

Sat. 11/29/08 4:56pm tombom:

Sat. 11/29/08 4:59pm Mike:

Didn't know there was a signle version of"Slip Inside this House". Couln't imagine it being played on WABC!

Sat. 11/29/08 5:12pm Zach in Philly:

Tim, that sounds very interesting! Anyplace handy to see past works? Regarding fruits of the earth, I'm right there with ya. To that end, I'm glad to have extra-work to do. The app was state of the art back in the day, and it still holds up pretty well.

The Creatures of the Golden Dawn sound righteous. I'm sorry to say it's all new to me. 'Going to have to learn more about them... Thanks for the sad but vigorous display of their talents!

Sat. 11/29/08 5:19pm Lisa (Smitreski) Draper:

Thank you for the tribute to my brother. The family really appreciates all the love and support we have felt from Mike's friends in music. God Bless all of you!

Sun. 11/30/08 9:42am Doug:

Thanks Terre for the great tribute to Mike Smitreski. Fantastic talent. I just love the Creatures of the Golden Dawn. So sad. He will be missed.

Mon. 12/1/08 5:19pm John:

Terre, thanks for the terrific tribute to the Cryptic Zen Master, Mr. Mike Smitreski. I knew Mike for the past 15 years and he was definitely one in a million, a true friend. He will be sorely missed in the Lehigh Valley's music scene. By the way, the latest Steeds release (well, not yet released) contains some of Mike's finest work.

Tue. 12/2/08 10:41am Rosie:

Thanks for the tribute to my brother Mike Smitreski. What a great station!

Tue. 12/2/08 4:43pm Sandra McCarthy:

Thanks for the Tribute Terre and glad to see the Smitreski family and friends posts too.

I know that the Cryptic Zen Master is smiling from the celestial sky.

Wed. 12/3/08 7:59pm Lee Joseph:

Sad news...I hadn't had much contact with Mike for years which makes it even sadder. I love the records we released on Dionysus and used to play the 7" EP over and over.

Sat. 12/6/08 7:22pm Karen Smitreski:

Thanks for the tribute to my brother Mike Smitreski. You are all very special to us!!!

Fri. 1/23/09 12:33am Chris Heilman:

Terre thank you so much for getting this most righteous stack of Mike. I didn't learn about his passing until just now. My condolences to the family.
