Along with the talking about some of the treasures in the new book that most Regionites of a certain age will remember, Joseph will be helping to pick records to spin from Tom's nearly 1,400 LP library at WIMS.

After some weeks of "best of..." shows and special re-runs, it was great to be back and LIVE on the air again this past Sunday at WIMS doing my weekly vinyl records rock program, "NEEDLE DROP".

Making my return back to the WIMS mic all that much better was having my freind ELEA ORTEGA as my special guest co-host. She has been visiting NWI for the last few weeks from her native country of Panama where she is launching a podcast and persueing a life in the media and entertainment business.

Naturally, we started off the program with Van Halen's "Panama" to bring Elea on to the mic. :-)
