Mike Clinco: News

We're thrilled to inform you that we are about to hit the airwaves together: Drive-By Shorts premiers next Tuesday, December 1, 2009, and "Bookends" by Mike Clinco is our chosen theme music.

If you happen to be within a three-mile radius of the heart of Sausalito on Tuesday, tune in to Radio Sausalito, AM 1610, at the top of any hour. Yes, our show, and Mike's music, will broadcast the first 15+/- minutes of every hour, every Tuesday! However, if you happen to be a long way away, say San Francisco or Oakland, or, even further away in Los Angeles, you will still be able to hear the show via podcast and the station's website: www.radiosausalito.org
