Episode 93: Drive-to-Park

XRAY nation, we have just concluded the Spring 2021 Fund Drive, and it has been a huge success. At my last check on Friday afternoon we passed the 80,000 dollar mark, and we were still working toward making our big final day match. I’m pretty confident our final tally will be even higher, a mid-to-high 80s number. That is about what we have brought in over the past 2 pandemic fund drives, but I think everyone in our station family was concerned that we might not be able to match that number at a time when we are in mid-stream of a leadership change, and in the third fund drive cycle where we are relying again so heavily on listeners to carry the load. Once again, XRAY fans, you have come to our rescue in a moment of existential peril, and you’ve put us squarely right back up on our feet and more. Thank yous are the order of the day here at XRAY FM right now, and my music mix for you today is exactly that, a 2-hour thank you letter in the form of a mix of global good vibes music. Like every post-fund- drive episode of Tropicology, I am staying away from loud and fast tempo music today… the XRAY nation has just spent 12 days shotgunning triple espressos and eating donated pizzas to sprint through this fund drive effort, so the full weekend after is mandatory mellow mix mode. This weekend we move our stick shift from fund drive back into park position… this is a drive-to- park theme mix coming your way, wrapped in a big lipstick coated thank you.
