Hi Friends,
We are aware of the problems on the KDRT website right now. Shows are not appearing on the showpages, and podcasts are not getting posted. I will try to post direct links to shows after they air so you can still listen if you don't catch them live. Apologies for this. The tech folks assure me a fix is in the works.
Aloha,
Rocky
Mr. Outcrop,
I am a songwriter from North Carolina with a new single I just released on Get It Played from the album "Living In Yesterday,"
The song "Cimbing Up This Mountain" is under Scott Strickland/ Creech's Mill featuring Kiesha Bryant. I humbly ask that you might take a listen and possibly play the song on your show. Thanks for your consideration. Scott Strickland.
