Last Cowtippers of '09!

We're heading into automation over the break, so I'll have to make due without you guys until January. Before then, though, tune into Melodically Challenged on Thursday night/Friday Morning from midnight to 2 this week. We'll be playing a bunch of cowboy poetry and cowboy music, and I hope you'll enjoy the show.

Happy Holidays!
