On this date back in 1967, Jimi Hendrix famously set his guitar on fire for the first time ever-- and he was only the opening act on the bill! That'll grab some attention! And burns be damned, the flames didn't stop him from setting fire to his battle axes in the future, as this stunt became synonymous with Hendrix. It's gettin' hot in here!

I never thought I'd do a whole radio show with an infectious virus theme, but here we are! Thanks, Coronavirus!

This was my attempt at entertaining people during a pretty scary time. After all, radio stations are like our friends: we turn to them for comfort. FM Radio plays a unique role, balancing information and entertainment. These were the more entertaining breaks of the show.
