FINALLY I have the opportunity to post and publicly fit media again on the Web. Having ditched the old webhost, I’ve used WordPress to link an .mp3 file. I project to having about 4 months worth of material I can hold on the blog at once. Starting a bit small with this long show, the final show from 2011. You know this is as the holiday edition of Radio Crystal Blue.
