Good morning, Troy, and just wanted to say how wonderful the Fall Donation Drive was last week. I'm so honored to be able to contribute to such a wonderful station & community that you all have created going on 50 years. Despite not being from Seattle or the northwest, you guys always make us others feel a part of your little world & that we are not alone. If you could sneak in a Metric song this morning, that would be amazing. Dealers choice.. Cheers, Troy! Chad in Detroit

I mean, forgive me for going ham, but this song is like a lily in an otherwise barren valley. An outstanding piece of songwriting, doing more with less than most any other song of the same caliber."
