    Great choice of songs, Brian, and ending on Sister Madly is perfect. I’m sure Paul was an instant recruit to that sadly ever growing Great Band in the Sky…

    This was the first time I heard your show, and wow, is it great. I have to admit, being a fan of Crowded House helped….
    In any case, I have now subscribed, and I look forward to hearing more.

    Great show, me being an Aussie living here (USA) now grew up on the Finns. One of my favorite bands. Sad news. But great tribute.
