Balladeer's Blog 
Thank you for faithfully keeping us posted and along the way sparking memories of time spent at less-than-ivy-and-State-U schools.
Thanks! You know I love to cover the out-of-the-way stuff!
There you go. WP groupies got the BalladMaster for quality stuff, and Espy for mindless pap. Something for everyone! Is America a great country or what?
Ha! Your stuff is far from mindless, Espy! Let’s have no false modesty.
Pardon, but I’m sticking with mindless pap: Talltree Times Mister Fixit, Roger and Larry, WXBP’s Bill Penpoint, and CB&M and Kicked a Stone.
Everybody loves your self-deprecating sense of humor!
