(NOTE: Connectivity issues (not on our end) with our regular streaming provider made it impossible for us to use their service this week, so we used another service we had been playing with but hadn't fully tested. We apologize for starting the live show late. Unfortunately, Jeff wasn't able to connect properly to this alternative service, so he had to sit this show out. Our regular provider has been informed of the issues and they are looking into the problem. But anyway...the show DID go on.)
