We liked it so much, we went back the next year, too. We liked it again, and so decided for another time the year after that. And so it went. Our girls grew up looking forward to it every year. This year will be our 42nd year in a row! People we met that first year have moved away, passed away, or just stayed there, and gotten old with us. The first year, I heard the local community radio station play 5 Leo Kottke tunes in a row!! I called them up during their fund-raising drive and pledged them some money and made sure they knew it was for the Leo Kottke marathon. They invited me to come on, and so for 40 years, I have been doing a brief community radio stint on WOMR-FM, outer community radio. The place DOES grow on you if you let it—or even if you try not to let it!
