Fan Mail

I've listened to this show since its started and was brought to it after seeing Chris K scurry around at so many Roger Water shows over the years fixing problems and taking care of business. It's a fantastic look at the folks and community that brings the music to the masses. Thanks for doing these. I hope more folks listen to further their appreciation for all the work it takes to bring us our concert memories. 🙌
