A word of thanks to all those who have stopped to visit AM, Then FM since its launch back in late February.
We have a small but faithful group of readers, e-mailers and commenters, all of whom are much appreciated. Last week, we set a one-day record for visitors after Jefito again graciously pointed his readers in our direction. Thanks, Jeff.

“Thank You,” the Kashmere Stage Band, from “Texas Thunder Soul: 1968-1974).
