[Tradjazz] www.OKOM.com - Radio Station seeks CDs.

[Steve Barbone]

Dear Bruce, Bill T and everyone else who as a labor of love, helps keep the
music on http://www.OKOM.com.

Thank you all so very much for all that you do in streaming the music 24/7.
And for explaining just how much goes into the process.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
