Mike, don't sweat the crackles and pops, or even the skips!!! The warmth and magic of late 50s and 60s analog vinyl is a balm to my heart and soul. Thanks for your work!

While ago i saw a Vagrants reunion show (minus Leslie West). THe drummer was from the Soul Survivors and they turned in an awesome "Expressway to Your Heart."

Doc Rock:

YESSS!!! - Great show Mike. Lots of my faves 2day. Long may you rock n soul.
  2:39pm
Listener Robert:

Mr. Brainen, if you were at all serious, the time to retire is when you don't feel it any more. I haven't noticed any deterioration of your shows, and I've listened for decades, but that's not important. Nor is it important who'd step into your place. If you feel you're still bringing it, and you still love it, that's what comes thru to the audience.
