Extra special thanks to the one and only Superhot Lady Cop for calling in with a station ID. I look forward to future collaborations.

Worth a visit (and a listen): the Delta Blues Museum site and their podcast, Uncensored History of the Blues. Also, you do not have to own one of the seemingly ubiquitous white mp3 players to enjoy Murphy’s Saloon away from your computer: check out No iPod Required for more information.

Thanks again to Sci-Fi Hi-Fi, makers of PodWorks, the best shareware application I've ever bought.
