Sam and Prue had 2 splendid guests, Graham Ibell and Michael O’Leary. Graham is starting on March 4th an astrology course on line (7.30 to 9 on 6 Mondays) – you can find more on Paekakariki Tauhokohoko and was fascinating on the basics of astrology. Michael is launching a CD, the Off-White Album, at St Peters on 16 March at 7.30 – his words and Beatles music celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of their albums. We played two tracks.
