Alternative Milestones Episode 116 – Spring Fundraiser!
We’re almost at the halfway point of the 2026 Spring Fundraiser! Thanks to all who have donated so far.
As this is a fundraiser show, my usual offer stands. Anybody who donates during my show, give me a call on our newly installed studio phone at 804.649.9737. If you have a song you’d like to hear and I can find it and it’s safe to play, I’ll play it for you – whatever it might be. I call it Immediate Gratification Radio.
As for milestones – I’ve got 4 in memoriam tracks this week including an all-time legend.
