The Juke Joint today is gonna be on 'one of those days"... special as they are, providing the impetus for assisting our public radio station in its grand efforts to stay alive.... oh yes that includes payin' bills, keeping the lights on, as well as towers, repeaters, internet and such.... plus staff and space and goods and materials and all the stuff to run a good house (station that is, same thing folks)..... Anyways, i pulled out some old tidbits to round out the forum and shoutouts to all to the cause..... but my motivation in all this is thinkin' about the friends, the collect-a-bulls that we meet along the way in our paths and journeys afar..... well beyond the airwaves i constantly reflect upon those dear to me, including listeners that i rarely or never hear from..... what do these efforts and love of sharing music result in or for or about... did i manage to make someones day.. better, more meaningful or just delighting the senses... well it means alot.. to us all, as we share in this scattered way of delivering treats to your doorstep, heart and mind.... so, as i ponder with my endless playlist and constructively struggle though life in general, i always look forward to sharing what little i have with you all and await oh so patiently for the parade to continue and that the music, love and feeling never slows down or crawls away from this old gator here.... so stay tuned, and we will keep the hits coming.... lator to you gators too..... -- jim
