Coffeetime vacation this week!

Thanks to Bob Biletch for once again coming in as guest deejay. Bob generously supports Coffeetime and WMBR each year at our fundraiser. And, on top of that, he always brings great tunes in to play on the show and give me a week off.

So thanks again, Bob!

I'll be back in the saddle next week…
