And just a quick programming note – I’ll be back in the big chair on Wednesday at noon, talking about the year in music. Guests will be our local major daily music critics: Preston Jones of the Fort Worth Star Telegram and Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News. If you’ve got a question you’d like me to ask them, drop me a comment and I’ll run it by them during the show.
