54 By The Book
After missing one show slot, we returned to a great audience who stayed with us for a long show. As it was the DST shift for Europe, we started an hour later than usual for the US listeners, but I was able to get into the cavern early and let folks know what was going on, and also have some music playing during what would have been the preshow period. There was also an extended postshow, as there was so much material and I wanted to chat about that too. A long list below… A peak of 24 listeners, which is at the top end of what we usually have, and even better as we were competing with an event in SL that drew the refugee crowd away.
Total time on air – about 5 hours
Pre-preshow With a sub-theme of ‘time’ as it was to fill up time due to the late DST announcement by me.
