Well.. Here we are again. It's time to be stand up and be counted. If we all just give a little, it's easy. A ton of greatness will happen. If you listen to this show, or any other, please give something. It will help so much. Shout out to Baby, what a great year you had. You continue to amaze all of us. Hug to Matt W. Thank you for all you do, and how well you do it. Downtown Soulville is a treasure. And a tip of the hat to Bob Brainen. I'm very sure I'm not the only one who misses you.

Just saying...I been listening to FMU for about 30 years...since high school. I’ve lived all over. FMU is really valuable and exceptional bar none. I pledged $365 Monday when the fund drive was just starting. That pledge, I give what I can every year, goes out to everyone making FMU happen - which means the other pledgers as well as the dj’s, techs, and other peeps. Thx Moo-erzz
