BJS036: Car Trouble

On my way home from a parade gig, on the Major Deegan Highway in The Bronx, my car started revving really high and would not accelerate. While waiting for the tow truck to bring me home, I popped out the microphone to talk about it. Wish me luck with this one, folks! Topics include AAA, being grateful in the face of trouble, location scouting in Hackensack for the feature film "Payin' the Price," the Tappan Zee Bridgemen playing in Bedford, NY, Wayne from Sparetime Radio, posting on the ONSUG feed, the ONSUG Forum, getting caught in two traffic jams on the way home due to construction and a D.W.I. checkpoint, and focusing on success for the good of others.
