Well, that's it for another episode of TDS. I hope you dug. As I'm writing this, it is 2:09am on October 26th, 2010. Another moment of life, here and gone. So fleeting. We wish we could hold them, but they slip through our hands, these moments. The record fair was a blast. I only bought four albums, but they're sure to be featured soon on TDS, so keep tuning in. Tomorrow, Station Manager Ken and I head out to do a little filming in the park of some interviews. Not sure if I'll do a Halloween Show or a Mid-Term Election Show or both. Mid-Terms coming up SOON. Please vote and do the right thing. So many boneheads at large right now. OK, then. That's it for this time around. Thanks for your email. I appreciate it. Always fun to hear from you. Until next time my friends ... take care and ... always ... remember! Clay Pigeon Manhattan, NYC, USA.
