    I thoroughly enjoyed this programme, thanks Joe! Like Emil, I would request that the volume is increased please – it is a slightly hard-to-hear listen at current levels.

    Joe B. – Sounds great on this side of the Atlantic. Nice to know I have at least one of your albums in common (Whatever). Hope you go on beyond thirteen.

    Just listened episode two and the levels are fine now. Thanks Joe, for the playlist, is it possible to extend this with the year of recording? Great music, hard to find on the dutch radiowaves. It fills some gaps in my collection, which, by the way, I have also been organizing some weeks ago.
