Last week’s Pledge-O-Rama was hugely successful and oh-so rewarding once again! Thanks to everyone who showed their support and helped us to keep going. It’s a huge morale boost, as well, as I’m honoured and humbled by the kind people who continue to support my shows. Today’s show is largely devoted to thanking those supporters in song, with some very special requests & dedications. Unfortunately, we still couldn’t fit them all in, so there will be more to come! We just had to spin some great new music and some exciting upcoming shows. Thanks again!
If you didn’t get a chance to pledge, it’s never too late! http://www.umfm.com/info/donate/
