Today, Congress approved President Trump’s rescission request to claw back $1.1 billion in funding for the CPB. WCBE relies on the CPB for 10% of our annual operating funds. With these cuts, WCBE needs your help. If you value what we bring to Columbus, please start a monthly gift today at wcbe.org.

Stonehenge

My apologies for not posting here for a few weeks. I'm prepping for extended leave due to a spinal surgery that's going to take me out for at least all of February and there hasn't been a lot of time to update the socials.

Anyway, here's Stonehenge by Spinal Tap.
