Hello and Welcome

Greetings, listeners of CIUT!
I am a volunteer at an awesome community radio station, located in the heart of the Big City, at the University of Toronto campus.  I feel very grateful to be afforded the opportunity to do music programming live on a fill in basis, while certain time slots await their exciting new shows.
As I have had some calls about the playlists, however, I thought it fitting to let you in on the magical mix of stuff that makes up my pop up show.  So, folks, here goes.  I will go back a few weeks to bring you up to speed, and then update each week.
If there is something you have never heard before, be bold! Seek it out! and join me on the quest for the perfect mix.
A true salamagundi!
