Cheers,
Jeff

RETRACTION: In the RI Club Bus-Trip piece I mentioned that Dave Tucci was a Rhode Island Hot Wheels Club member when in fact he is not. Dave Tucci and his current works will be an event that the bus trip will be including.

If you have iTunes 4.9 installed, you can now subscribe (for free) to diecastAUDIO via the iTunes Music Store. Simply click on the iTunes graphic on the right-hand sidebar to go straight to the subscription page. If you don’t already have iTunes installed, you can still click the graphic and you will have the opportunity to download and install it.

Please be aware that I am currently trying to remedy a problem with my listing where it the show is coming up as containing explicit material which is certainly NOT the case!

Cheers, and stay subscribed!
Jeff
