Alex fills in; Mother Nature shuts down 'MBR

Hey sleepies,

Much thanks again to Alex McNeil of Lost & Found for filling in for me today. I was able to enjoy what he was spinning (yay), when, just after halfway point, the station had to go off the air. We're having transmitter problems, no doubt due to the huge thunderstorm yesterday and are still off the air as I type this. (The poor Backwoods junkies!)

I am posting the partial show anyway and will put up Alex's playslist as soon as he sends it to me.

Edited to add that approx 1 hour of Backwoods was streamed over the web (yay) until it got cut off just before 11 am (boo). And, I don't have Alex's playlist yet. I'll tug his shirtsleeve…
