Today's show is one of the most packed so far.
I begin with about 30 seconds of Bob Dylan's first original song in eight years, "Murder Most Foul".
Still in the midst of the COVID-19 coronavirus, I update listeners on the latest CDC advisory, news from NY Gov. Cuomo, Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Center, as well as what's been going on in Congress to help up through this mess.
Then we hear from a longtime friend of mine, author Frank Kieck, reading from his memoir "The Son of Macabre: The Man With a Thousand Passions".
I conclude with some optimistic news in this time of doubt and read from Matthew 25 about helping the least of us.
I want to thank all my listeners from all over the world. Your support is amazing! I truly appreciate your spending some of your precious time on this (very) spartan production.
Enjoy!
