[Kzyxtalk] "Memo of the Air" rides again.

[King Collins]

Marco McClean is back! You son of a gun. I wondered what happened to you. 
And yes, let this begin a lively connection between the coast and inland.
And like  Cindy Swan says, you do good radio. And in this age of digital media, I can listen as I please. Sure beats pledge drive! Somehow, without raising a ruckus you turn out six hours of good radio every week.  And it's coming out of the tiny little radio cracks in the media highway. Congratulations. 

Thanks for giving a damn.
