Hi John,
I heard you just mention that your sister passed. I'm so sorry.
For the last 5 weeks my good friend has been in hospice and passed away last night. We are in our mid-40s and it's devastating to see the life she has left behind. Especially since this all came on so suddenly.
If you can find time to play something from Death Cab or Nada Surf today, I would appreciate it.
I'm so sorry for what you are going through.
Cheryl
P.S. You guys are amazing. Her name was Kristina and she was a wonderful soul. Thank you for playing Nada Surf.
She introduced me to them way back in the day when Fremont was truly the Center of our Universe. Her light lives on.
I appreciate you all so much.

Keep the great tunes playing and we will be donating for the fundraising drive.

This song was based on a self help book entitled "Choose Yourself" by James Altucher, and Star Slinger (aka Darren Williams) who told KEXP that, “This song will help you get out of a rut. This song will help when you feel you’ve lost your way. This song will help guide you. This spoken word song condenses quotes from a very helpful book I read last year."

Good morning, John and Owen. Loving the 1975 feature this week, as it is the year of my birth. I am sure there are a lot of soon to be 47--year-olds and 47--year-olds enjoying today. Would you consider playing Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - December, 1963 (Oh What A Night!) today. I can't imagine a more fun song to celebrate my birth year. Thanks so much as always
Jenny
