Let's get the party started with a souther rock revival! Tomorrow - Saturday - 5/22 is the Long Island Southern Rock Jam at Overlook Beach.

Wow! Wound up with a whole show of southern rock, and LOTS of requests. Got my exercise this morning running back and forth to the vinyl library. Thanks to my fellow staffers for keeping the library straightened out enough that I could find what I was looking for! I'm not always that lucky.

Let's hear from The Nature Conservancy's Chris Clapp! He'll be updating us on the current status of TNC's project to restore the Great South Bay and their clam stocking project. Contact Chris at cclapp@tnc.org to help with the clam seeding project.

Songs and messages of hope, light and positivity! Messages from listeners: **Hope is what we cling to when reality has left us nothing else.
**There is love for everybody if they are open to it - there's no greater gift to give or receive!
**Keep smiling - it is contagious.
**Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.
**We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.
**Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space. It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe. It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished.

Special feature - Habanero's original demo tape (the recording that got me on the air). Johnny Cash - the ultimate bad boy, and a hopeless romantic to boot.

The start of the show is delayed on the streaming archive until about 7:20. Your host was a little distracted due to a mishap on the way to the studio, but special guest, the Divaliscious Pamela Betti, made sure we had a lot of fun.
