For the past 14 years, nothing done during the week at work beats Sunday mornings at Skidmore when Chris dj's Simpatico, an acoustic folk/blues/bluegrass radio show. Check out WSPN 91.1 not only on Sunday mornings but each and every day to hear cutting edge music you won't ever hear on commercial radio. Chris is also a board member of the nation's longest continually running coffehouse, Caffe Lena. |
