State of Confusion November 7, 2012 | 6:00 am
For the past several weeks, I've had a clear sense of what Your Wednesday Morning Buzz should sound like. Three weeks ago, it was music for eradicating poverty.

How can I go forward, when I don't know which way I'm facing? (Wait, that's a good song to use!) I beg your input for how this show should sound. Email me at murfeeee@yahoo.com, leave a voicemail in advance at 816 994 7870 or call me Wednesday morning at 816 WEstport 1 KKFI (931 5534)Read More
