Fanatic! It’s our last show for the year. Engineer X, Engineer Am-Rock and I would like to thank you so much for tuning in. We hope we kept things interesting and that you will stay with us as we go fanatically into 2025.
Just my opinion, but I don’t think there’s ever been a time when music wasn’t essential to getting through the challenges life throws at us, seemingly at every turn. That being said, I think music becomes more of an asset in certain times. It keeps us inspired, curious and encouraged. I have no crystal ball for this kind of thing but it very well could be that we will be leaning on music pretty hard next year. Good thing for us, there’s a lot of good music to be heard and we’re going to listen to a lot of it.
We hope you’ll find tonight’s show to be a good soundtrack for whatever you’re up to as 2024 draws to a close.
Yesterday, Engineer X and I started putting the finishing touches on our first show for next year. It’s going to be a great one. Until then, keep jamming and STAY FANATIC!!!
