WMEB Jazz Charts 28 November 2008

It has been a few weeks since I have reported any activity of my radio show.  It is a busy time of year and college radio DJs are not immune to this.  However, I am still here and playing some great jazz.

This week I will not be hosting my show, 3 December, as my wife is out of town and my children need their daddy to tend to their needs.  However, I plan on returning the following week.

The WMEB jazz charts are posted below as they were reported to CMJ Issue #1085.

Peace,

Les
