I was pretty sick when I did this show (still am; I'm fighting a bad cold; I've had it for the better part of a week) and I'd driven to CJSW in an early morning snow/slushstorm. Still, it worked out OK, save for a couple of technical "butterfingers" moments and some trips of the tongue.

Fave tune this week: The Brotherhood Consort's medling of Coltrane and Bach.

Next week's show will be noteworthy in that it will feature the 3000th track played on Breaking The Tethers. This will likely happen sometime in the first half of the second hour (8-9 am MST). I'm not planning to play any particular tune or song but I hope to remember to say a few words at the momentous moment.
