Especially when I have new songs to play and talk about. This short-ish episode features highlights from two recent radio interviews, along with live performance of three of my songs. I&#8217;ve been on both these shows many times. And I&#8217;m always so grateful for the airtime. Plus, playing live on radio is way fun:<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kpig.com\/\">KPIG radio&#8217;s<\/a> &#8220;Please Stand By&#8221; show, you&#8217;ll hear some chatter with host John Sandige.
