[William Gillespie]

Everyone is welcome.

Sunday at 10 PM on WEFT will be the next Newspoetry Radio
broadcast. If possible, please RSVP with the names of the newspoem/s you
want to read, to allow me to find appropriate music and sound effects as
background or segue materials, and also to know how many to expect.

Also welcome are news, relevant announcements of local events, topical
music, and political commentary.

See you at the station. 

William

PS. This Sunday, as you can see, was an important day in history. Anybody
have any Stevie Ray Vaughn?
