For all our new listeners

Welcome to any new listeners who see my posts.  It's a privelage to be listed on Itunes and dropping the opening bumper on that feed seemed to be the trick.

Also Live 365 now has a full access application for the iphone so I would love to hear from those users.

If you use an application that lets you vote for tracks please do so. Your votes shape our top 20 which I post Sunday Afternoons.

Remembering Gary Claxton of Heybale

The Austin music family is in shock tonight at the passing of Gary Claxton guitarist
mostly associated with the group Heybale. For almost 11 years these guys had a standing gig most Sunday nights at the Continental Club and while the rest of the guys might be out on the road, Gary was the guy who kept things going with guests of equal caliber to pack the dance floor.

The changes at the station

I misunderstood and we do not have connections to ITunes etc. However I do get more revenue from Pref listeners. I would like to know if there are any changes easier or harder to get to the ststion.
