Bob Jonkman
Thank you so much for the Nelson Family Bluegrass interview. They are wonderful and talented family. I enjoyed it immensely. They have been so supportive of my music.
Sadly, I had not heard of your station up until yesterday but now I will be listening frequently.
Robin McCurdy -songwriter -‘O Lord Hear my Prayer’
Hi Robin: Welcome to CKMS! Yes, it was nice to talk with Susan on Monday. If you have recordings of other songs you’ve written I’d love to add them to out music library!
