Notes

Bonus: This week's "Crap From The Past", the show that aired after "Radio Rumpus Room", is here in its entirety.

We started the final countdown with tonight's show: just four more Radio Rumpus Rooms before they dump the whole sorry operation in the gaping maw of The Crusher. Tonight we had as our very special guest, local music legend Michael Yonkers. We've had the man responsible for "Microminiature Love" and many other works -- from the Sixties to today -- on the show several times before, and we knew we wanted to have him back before the damn program drew to an end.

Also tonight: we divulged the real reason Radio Rumpus Room is leaving the airwaves on May 28. In the words of radio icon Paul Harvey, "stay tuned for the rest of the story..."

Michael Yonkers came by to visit about a half hour into tonight's show. The guy has stories, I tell ya. It was a great pleasure to have him on the air with us. Michael is truly one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet. And talented too!
