Firsts

Wednesday, January 14, 2008 - For the People, By the People

This week was full of firsts for us:

• First show of 2009 with both Blind and Shoeless
• First time we played a song inspired by Crossroads
• First time we played a song on a not-yet-released album
• First time we had a live performance in the studio (not on-air)
  

Needless to say, it was a pretty exciting night. It's amazing to see a direct relationship between our hard work and the reward of your satisfaction with our format. Hopefully in the coming months, we can bring you the best stuff yet. Here's the set:
