Last week's show motivated by thoughts of Kosovo generated much response from both e -mail and telephone. I am continuing with this theme today.  Some however will have tuned in for some variety, more laughter, coverage of new cd's, and will be disapointed but in the words of Dick Gaughin:

"You say that you listen to music to escape from the things that make you feel bad
You say all that I sing of is trouble and that doesn't entertain you
You say I should be trying to make people happy
Well, strange as is seems that's just what I'm trying to do"
