Josh Foster to perform in-studio Dec. 17

Last night, my brother, Tim Vandevere, and I were at McGonigel's Mucky Duck. We went to have dinner and check out the performers at the open mic. The Duck has the best open mic in Houston (in my opinion). It's hosted by Wayne Wilkerson and he does a great job of running the sound. We hadn't planned on staying to see all the open mic performers because Tim had to fly back home to Seattle this morning and I have to get up really early every morning for my operations engineer job at KPFT. I have to be at work no later than 5:30 AM, Monday through Friday to engineer for the morning shows from 5:30 to 10:00 AM. If you listen in the morning and wonder who is doing the traffic and weather reports, it's me. One of the open mic performers, Josh Foster, really impressed me with his songs, his vocal style and guitar playing, so I invited him to come in and play some live music on my show this Thursday night. The plan is to have him on at the beginning of the show at 11 PM (when more people are listening than in the latter two hours). So, on Thursday, December 17, at 11 PM, please tune in to 90.1 if you're in the Houston area, 89.5 in Galveston or, hopefully, our Internet stream will be repaired by then and you will be able to listen online from www.kpft.org if that is your preferred way of listening. If not, the audio archive will be downloadable from www.archive.kpft.org for one week past the date of the show. Josh's MySpace site is www.myspace.com/jfosterhouston if you want to check it out and listen to some of his songs.
