The Eclectic Chair is produced in the studios of WUCX-FM Delta College Quality Public Radio. My best-of shows are not a good representation of all the fine music we heard in 2010. So much new music in the mailbox too good to be put off will also be scattered into the next two (more!) weeks of 2010 In Review Eclectic Chairs. Hope that suits everybody! Have a seat on the next Eclectic Chair each week on this fine public radio station. PEACE
