Did the tryptophan from that Thanksgiving turkey wear off yet? I know I still want to take a nap on the couch, but then again I ALWAYS want to take a nap on the couch.

WTIM friends The Bill Koss Combo are checking in for the first time in a while, check them out at Cutillo’s. Also, friends Me Against Me and Black Hat Boris are checking in this time.

Retro is the rule on the big stages with Arlo Guthrie, Loretta Lynn, Hall and Oates, The Temptations, The Four Tops AND Neil Sedaka all in the area. No one brings back the classic seventies sound like Blue Oyster Cult and WTIM friend Ed Foley recently wrote a review of BOC’s New York City show in the The Southern Berks News, you should scope it out online AND THEN hit the BOC show as it IS my pick of the week. Locally, I’m leaning toward Black Hat Boris at Gear Jammers or The Bill Koss Combo at Cutillos, awww why not do both!? See you there …
