Greetings and well met, my friends! Thank you again for listening to Murphy's Magic Mess on KZUM 89.3, Lincoln's Community Radio.

Today was a fun day at the studio. After I did the "standing in the cold pagan peepee dance" I was able to join Murf upstairs and help her with another wonderful show! It is my own fault for not getting there on time. I have really got to work on getting up early enough to meet Murf downstairs. A big thanks to our friends with the Gospel show for letting me in as they left. And we dearly hope that our friend with that show gets well very soon!

We listened to some wonderful music, everything from nice and relaxing meditation style music to some Ray Stevens with the Baptist Squirrel. That was a hoot!

We didn't get a chance to do our weekly announcements, so here we go:
Saturday the 11th is the Mysteries of Wicca class at Here & Back Again, presented by the Order of the Red Grail, Church for Transformational Wicca at 2pm. This weeks class is on herbs. There is a $5 free will donation request to cover use of the space and other expenses related to the class.
Saturday night at 7pm is the Pagan Alliance Network Craft & Game night at Julia's home. you can email me or call 402-202-9676 for details on this. Generally PAN does a c(C)raft project related to one of their discussions or just has fun with crafting and gaming.
