Happy Patriots Day! The Red Sox, the Boston Marathon and great music on your favorite music station. Mark Delorenzo and Chet Williamson continue their efforts during drive time. Don't forget that when you tire of listening to the news, the music keeps rolling along on 90.5 WICN. I'm having fun sitting in on Wednesday mornings. It brings me back to my younger days when I lived my dream doing a jazz show five nights a week. The hair has thinned (completely out..) but the music and the fun remains!
