Programmed radio is shite, but we'll avoid the norm,
Because we always swarm
To one that is freeform. (YEAH YEAH)
And this one's name is FMU, believe me folks it's great --
For all the jocks sing out to us
As we call to donate...

That's music to my ears, S.A.!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:00am listener james from westwood:

oh, man, the eternal conundrum ... pledge now or see when dj food is in the running and then place a bet? there's really no wrong answer here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:48am Charlie:

It's a toughie, James, but I trust you'll make the right decision at the right time :)
Avatar 11:50am Holly in NC:

Hi Charlie - Have to go out, don't think will get to listen today, so just sent in wee pledge in honor of your consistently great show. Thank you! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:53am Charlie:

Thanks for the pledge cushion, Holly. Nice way to start the show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57am listener james from westwood:

aw, hell, i can always pledge again. holly's got the right idea.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:58am listener james from westwood:

and may i say, thanks, kenzo, for the linked registration-pledge system. that autofill makes donating a dream.

I'm on Amtrak right now. The WiFi is in and out, mostly out at the moment, and the iPhone connection is spotty. Will do my best...!

Holy shite! Everything just popped into place at 11:59! Cross your fingers! (After you've pledged, of course).

An old prize I won one marathon many moons ago was a cassette of Station ID's. I'm sure I still have it somewhere.

Hi, Charlie/Doug. I think I saw in your email this morning that GTDR has a flash stream now? I can't access my personal email at work. Would either of you happen to have a link?

True, James; I would guess most of those people were killed by Pol Pot.

OOIOO is a cold shower; Cab Calloway is a warm bath. Both useful in their own ways.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:07pm Doug Schulkind:

One "Mouse of Today" pledge in full ($365) will bring us to within $3.89 of our goal!!!! (extra exclamation point for Listening Out There)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:11pm Doug Schulkind:

We're slightly under $250 from the goal now. I am confident we can obliterate it. If we do, I will stand up in the middle of the Amtrak car I am riding and yell "Goooooaaallllll" just like that soccer announcer.

OK OK OK, we just changed the goal slightly to keep things fun. Charlie is and will forever be 100% mantastic! We have never had a double-100% show on Give the Drummer Radio before. Can Charlie hit the goal TWICE?

Make it happen!!
