Back 40 : October 2005

The Back 40 is a way of letting you know what I've been
playing on the show. Listings are in no particular order; it's
not a contest. Newly added albums have the artist's name
in red. Every one of these recordings has something to give us.
Visit the artists' websites, and support their commitment
and genius by purchasing a copy of their music.

Better Days is heard Thursdays, 10:00 pm to 12 midnight
Pacific Time (GMT -8) at 102.7 FM and live on the web at
