Your DJ:
I don't know if Japan's comment is funnier if he/she/it actually typed in "おはようございます" as I see it here in the FMU studio, or actual Japanese characters. But Japan, if you could do us a favor, explain why we in tarnation you returned Shinzo Abe and his right wing / nationalist agenda to office - ! |

Well, I guess I'm good at faking it, thanks Evita! Of course then I stumbled over Stathis Kalyviotis' name but that's REALLY a tough one for us language-challenged New Jerseyans! |

Thanks Evita! Sometime in the next few months I'll invite my friend and musician George Sempepos back to the show and really focus on Greek music. He's the person who introduced me to Kristi Stassinopoulou and he met Martha at WOMEX too. Thanks so much for listening especially at this very late hour, a great new year to you and everyone with you! |
