Great to stumble upon your show. When I was a student in AA 25 years ago I was an avid listener to your Fats Waller show on WEMU. I also recall you reading poetry over a loudspeaker (unseen) - maybe from an apartment or rooftop of the building across from Liberty Street Video (where I worked). I'm now in Pittsburgh via NYC and Rochester NY, and will be tuning in online weekly to listen. Thanks! -Chad
