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.
