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.

Hey Charlie, welcome back!
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.
