The Last Hurrah!, or Take the 8:15 to Nowhere

SYNOPSIS In which Uncle LD bids loyal and devoted listeners adieu with a panoply of lovely noises and words. What a year it's been, he muses, half to himself]. He urges all lovers of music and life and liberty etc. to protest the dumbing down of our world. Fight back with your dollars, your blogs, your votes and whatever else is at hand. Thanks again, and keep in touch. XOX LDB
