The next ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday, 01/31, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) will be about the most important instrument in any band worth the name.
And of course I mean: Bass.
Thanks to Bloviating Zeppelin for the show topic, and to Traveling Cynic for the extra playa suggestions I missed!
Hope you can stop by and listen, and join us in chat!
