Dear Mike,
ReplyDeleteReading the This Week In Folk Roots/Folk Branches History entries over the last year has been a reminder of what a great show you did on CKUT for so many years. I've spoken to many people about you and the show and you should know that you and Folk Roots are SO missed. It's really too bad that your chosen successor, Gerry Goodfriend, has not measured up. No one listens to him anymore.
