Welcome

2006-03-15T09:24:00.000-05:00

I'm going to be posting from the archives of my old radio show, Music for Better Living, which aired on WZBC in Boston from August 1995 to December 2004. Shows are 1 hour long (except for a few 2-hour shows), and I'll include the playlist from the show in the post so you know what to expect.

Any and all feedback is appreciated, especially so I know if I should continue uploading these. I'm going with Rapidshare since they seem to be the most reliable file hosting site; even if you don't have a paid account, you can still download one large file per hour for free.

Enjoy!
