KFJC...

Little sweetheart, when Of Love and Loss first came out, we got a really nice review from Toronto’s Ground Control Magazine. The writer, Daryl Darko Barnett, later interviewed me and I found out he actually lived in NorCal. Over the next few years we got to be friends and he was often telling me about a great college station in Los Altos Hills - KFJC. He really thought they’d like our stuff and it was his - and I’d later discover - lots of NorCal folks favorite station. 

I routinely sent them new releases but never heard anything until one day when Daryl called me. He was driving around and he had the station on but he was in the mountains and it kept coming in and out but he heard them back announce us. He didn’t hear the song but he heard our name, little sweetheart. So, I looked up who was on air just then and it was Carson Street, kind of KFJC’s main deejay. 

I got in touch and he told me the station had loved Til Morning Is Nigh and that it had been in their Heavily Played Albums list. Carson, of course, has gone on to be a great friend and advocate of ours. It was he, little sweetheart, who did the three hour special about us in 2020 just before we released Deux Anges. 

Today, Carson and the station added In The Hours Left Until Dawn to the current library. The album doesn’t come out until April 7 but they have an advance copy and it should be on several shows before the week is even out. 

Listen, little sweetheart - you’re on the radio!
