We had an absolutely action-packed show, beginning with an in-studio visit
from Ray Condo & His Ricochets, who were in town to do an in-store
appearance at Elderly Instruments.  They were in fine form, despite Ray
being struck with laryngitis.  Regardless, they plowed through a nice set
of instrumentals and Jimmy Roy, the steel player, took the lead vocals on a
couple of numbers.  We also had Fred Beldin, the bass player for the
Clutters, in the studio to promote their upcoming T&T show with Mike
Ireland & Holler this Friday.  Fred brought in some mighty fine vinyl that
he has acquired while working at one of the coolest record store in the
Midwest, Car City Classics (near Detroit).  The listeners also scooped up
some Mike Ireland & Holler CDs and tickets.
