(Wouldn't be that weird to have a bunch of Annapolis listeners, as it was always a hell of a town for good radio, what with the location between Baltimore and DC and the last days of WHFS as a freeform station (before it became an early adapter of "Alt Rock).)

Steve and Cindy -- as I said, born and raised. I moved away after graduating from SJC, a little after you two showed up (purely a coincidence!). Interesting thing about Annapolis -- folks talk about the music history and talk about DC, never realizing that Annapolis itself has produced some pretty important African-American artists. It's a frustrating town.
