How It Went Down - August 12, 2011

Well, the On-Air-Versary was a success. My wife really enjoyed the experience and ultimately that's all that matters (that and doing a 'good' show).

On-Air-Versary - August 5 2011

This Friday is a special edition of TGIFR. August 12th is my fifth wedding anniversary with my wonderful wife Michelle. To mark the occasion, the show will be an 'On-Air-Versary' party featuring some of her favourite artists and music. I won't talk details so as to not spoil the surprised, but suffice it to say the typical format will remain with interviews, live performances and new music aplenty. Tune in and join in the celebration!
