Notes: Deborah and I went on a road trip to Minneapolis High schools (North and Washburn) but the recording didn't work properly. I thank Deborah for her patience and enthusiasm for collaboration.

If you are wondering what I was making eith all the wires in the teaser piecture on Monday..... I was wiring and soldering LEDs for Deborah.

Also, I have to plug my next show on the June 12 when I shall be doing Camberwell Arts Festival Special. Those of you in or around London...there are no good excuses for you not to go! The festival is on from 24 June until the 2 July. Don't miss out, check out their website here.

I have been working hard,

but upon what,

no one knows but me,

so be here on the 28th....

I know that you will appreciate,

Yes, be here on the 28th,

because you know what?

This doesn't rhyme,

but the artists have devoted their time,

So Motif Radio shall not become dowdy and 'once a month',

but shall remain bi-weekly.........

Really what I'm trying to say,

is that the artists have saved the day.

A note from the worst poet in the galaxy and......presenter of Motif Radio.
