So, earlier this week I got a request and immediately received a "back-up" email about the request. I'd like to share it with you. Traci wrote..

Hello Barb,
I just requested The Smiths' "Hang the DJ" and realized after sending
off my request that it probably looked like some sort of comment. It
really wasn't meant to be...that song, unfortunate title and all, just
happens to be one of my favorites from The Smiths. I do not wish for you a hanging or any other sort of unpleasantness.

It made me smile. And it's a great way to remind you about Radio Free Current.
