It's my 13th Anniversary Show. I'm celebrating by doing another show in a series I love doing, Transgender Music. I've done 13 of these in the past, totaling about 24 hours, and this time I'm adding four more hours, and bringing you three special interviews and a whole lot of songs. I've got interviews with Eli of The Shondes, Kali Boyce, aka King TuffNStuff, and Ricky & Simcha of Schmekel; and lots of additional music: in all, 52 songs by 26 different artists.

I did the "math," over the years on these 14 shows,
I've played 111 different TG artists, and over
303 different songs, some of them several times, and I routinely
include TG artists on most of my other shows
