Lovin' it
This is great, Aaron. I worked in radio myself for awhile in the 80's, so it particularly tickled my funnybone. And yes, I'll admit to knowing Dean, and hearing Ariel when it was new and (not so) hot stuff. Still keep in touch with Dean today. (BTW, you know me as dwandelt on GoComics, and David Wandelt by snailmail.)
