Wow - what a crazy afternoon! The HoDaddy was battling some technical difficulties today, but did his best to keep the train on the track. Thanks for sticking with us as we paid tribute to guitar hero Steve Cropper. We served up some Green Onions, took a bite of a Rubber Biscuit, took a trip to Kansas City, and learned all about the Birth of the Microprocessor. All in a day’s work for your Tone Chaperone and his sidekick, Cappy. Now … I need a stiff drink! 🍹 WSLR.org ☀️🏝️🏴‍☠️😎🎶📻

If the internet killed radio, everyone forgot to tell the student stations. At Loyola Marymount University, there’s KXLU, an unlikely powerhouse of college radio. Some call it the very best in the nation. Elias Herrera, a marketing major, is one of about 80 D.J.s that call KXLU home.

All in a days work for your Tone Chaperone. And as John Wayne once said: Have a great Turkey Day, Pilgrim! WSLR.org 😎🐒🎶☀️🏝️🏴‍☠️📻📞 🦃
