Trumpets, sound the clarion call! Coffeetime can now be heard online whenever you feel like it in the new Coffeetime Archive! Whoopee! Currently playing the most recent show, my Tuesday adieu of September 28, 2004. Let me know if you listened, liked, disliked, troubles, wishes, dreams, favorite TV shows, whatever you want to tell me!

Hey sleepyheads. Well, again, thanks for all the calls on my last Tuesday show. Goodbye Tuesday, hello Thursday? I'm still hoping to have my show be on Thursdays from 2 to 4p. But it may be on Wednesdays at that time. So, tune in both days if you can. You'll be happy either way, since the other show I'm do-si-do'ing with is the stellar American Primitive, which I know all Coffeetime listeners will love.

Here's my playlist for Coffeetime, Tuesday, September 28, 2004:

Hey, my dreamy friends -- looks like Coffeetime will be moving next week from Tuesday 4-6pm to Wednesdays 2-4pm.

The show has been on Tues 4-6p ever since its inception in Feb/Mar of 1992, so we almost made it to a baker's dozen years, you and I. No worries, though. We'll have a fresh adventure with our new time together. I hope you can still listen.

I will be asking the program board whether it would be possible to be moved to Thursdays from 2-4p; I think most of my listeners are also avid Jazztrain fans and would be happy if the shows were back-to-back. Plus, to be honest, a Thursdays show would be much easier to deal with in my income-producing worklife. And I'd be keen to be following Alex on the Lost & Found.

However, right now, American Primitive is slated for that slot and, if that stays that way, as a listener, I'd be pysched to listen to Alex, then Jay & PJ, and then Jon. And you and I can still have coffee on Wednesdays at 2. In other words, either way, all will be good.

Please add a comment if you have any; I look forward to hearing from everyone.

Wheee! Check out the juicy album covers: Vintage Vanguard
