Self Help Radio 091724: Howard Gently Year Three, Continued

There's not a lot to add when it comes to series in multiple parts. This is another collections of improvised bits featuring my late friend Russell appearing as my spiritual mentor The Rev Dr Howard Gently that aired in Kentucky from June to September 2016. They represent the fifty-sixth through sixty-sixth appearances of Howard Gently on the show. I still grieve for my friend but feel so incredibly lucky that I have so many recordings of him being how I most remember him: creative & funny.

Listen to the show either on the KBOO website or on the Self Help Radio website. If you chose the latter, remember the username SHR & password selfhelp. I began the show with a song Russell himself wrote & performed. Since Russell improvised on the show's themes, I played a song from each show (one I knew he liked or I thought he might like) & then the Howard Gently segment. You can see how that works below.

As Howard Gently might say, "Blessed be, or whatever."
