CT ROCKS! update | show #261 | on hiatus | + more

Apologies to everyone for such a long gap in posting info here.

Since the last post, about 100 more episodes of CT ROCKS! have aired.
And, recently, a short run of CT ROCKS! t-shirts were printed.

Now, coming off an overnight edition of CT ROCKS! ... 52 tracks in just under 4 hours .. the show is now in hiatus. In other words, a suspension has been issued, and CT ROCKS! will not be on WPKN for awhile. A hearing will be scheduled to review the suspension decision.

Perhaps, CT ROCKS! can continue as podcasts .. we'll see.
I intend to collect as many recent episodes as possible .. 
and post to www.archive.org ..
As for the future .. maybe a one hour podcast ... your thoughts are valued.

CTR261 - CT ROCKS! with Bobby D - 50+ CT indie original tracks - Connecticut Rocks!
