P.S. check out the new internet radio station - www.radioFISHBOWL.com - out of Sierra Madre, operating 24 hours a day, and in the process of building a variety of programming. I'll be doing a show once a week that will feature listings from my Music News calendar, assorted musical themes, interviews with local musicians and whatever else they let me do!
