[78-L] Too late to circle the wagons/Now -Reminder of streaming Sunday night 78 rpm program

[simmonssomer]

Oops. Forgot to mention the  very important Sunday night, four hour, Rich 
Conaty program on WFUV-FM (Fordham University)
It  is streaming.(8 pm to midnight.)
He plays only 78's.
Mostly dance bands  and some jazz, all from the twenties and thirties as 
well as some older acoustics.
It's right up our respective alleys.
