Default "A Story Goes With It"

Steve,

I had to come in to work today, and so I got to hear your reading of Damon Runyon's "A Story Goes With It" on the way in during your rebroadcast @ 6am. Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed it and your cadence and inflection was perfect, giving the sort of depth to the characters that I am sure Runyon intended.

I will be recommending that story to friends of mine who are into racing but as yet do not have satellite radio, despite my urging them to get it.

Looking forward to a great 2015 for At The Races...

Joe

Joey, Billy..

Thanks for listening and enjoying the readings. Like throwing that on as a change of pace. Admit that I made Tina and her son listen to some as we sat in the car before going into Katz's for lunch yesterday.

Otis, PP..

Thanks so much for listening and the kind words/wishes. I think I'll need to do some new selections for next Christmas!
