[Tradjazz] good stuff on Radio OKOM

[Don Robertson]

While I have, in the past, commented privately to Bruce about the time 
warp, the music and subject matter is timeless and always great.  I can 
never hear any OKOM played too many times.  The jokes tickle me no 
matter how many times I've heard them.

The main source of frustration is when I would like to participate in 
the discussions which have taken place generally three to five years ago. 

Many thanks to Bruce, Bill Taggart and all the OKOM staff.
