Heya Charlie! I'm in the last few days of my trip to Baltimore - probably will have to hear the show on the archive - welcome back!

While biking yesterday, for some reason, BDN and Brattleboro (sp?) popped into my head. Honest...

This place looks familiar. Hope that Charlie fella shows up.

Avatar 11:43am kat330:

@Listening: (if you are still around) Yeah, I also just invoked Chazaloo's name and show in the past couple of days. I fully expected him to show up on the new schedule, but this is nicely a few weeks early.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:15pm tikk:

oh wow, nice to have you back in the rotation Charlie. I saw your name from the home page and was hoping it wasn't some different, off-brand Charlie from the one I've listened to for so many years here.

BDN is invigorating, highly refreshing -- always a delight and comfort.
Big in Japan lyrics are on a folded page sitting on my coffee table, awaiting my renewed effort to gin up some informal group-sings of it.

Doug, the GTDS stream is such a gift; in the past if an FMU DJ moved out of the NY/NJ area, it was just goodbye nice knowing ya. So thanks.
