There is a jazz trombonist practicing a single lick over an over in the building next door to the station. He or she has been doing it for a good half hour now. Every so often he gets to the answer to the question the first lick presents and its pretty mindblowing. Hopefully this show will be too, but I’m actually anticipating a bit of a more chill vibe. The DJ before me and my current mental needs are really calling for it.
