I LIKE IT LIKE THAT!
10pm radio/internet 89.1fm kmhd.org and OnDemand thereafter at kmhd.org
SPECIAL FIRST SET:
Starting the show with some much-needed inspiration and as you know, deep down that’s what we try to bring to you.
Yes we mess around and make you smile, play songs to make you dance in your seat, or wherever you’re listening.
We bring back old memories or create new ones with songs you’ve never heard.
But inspiration is at the root.
Mavis is a part.
