The Eclectic Chair is produced in the studios of Delta College Quality Public Radio WUCX-FM. Technical issues have clouded much progress of late.  But as I said, I must really love the music if a two hour show took me six hours of production and I was still happy just to listen! Have a seat on the next Eclectic Chair each week on this fine public radio station. PEACE
