THE ECLECTIC CHAIR IS PRODUCED IN THE STUDIOS OF DELTA COLLEGE QUALITY PUBLIC RADIO W.U.C.X.-F.M. So much good music had a seat on the Chair in 2008 that there will be at least one more Year In Review show. Hey, there are much worse problems to have, right?! BE SURE TO HAVE A SEAT ON THE NEXT ECLECTIC CHAIR EACH WEEK ON THIS FINE PUBLIC RADIO STATION! PEACE
