Well it's early on Monday morning and I decided just to record some memories of Long Island. What I would like to do is when we have guests I would like to ask them their fondest memories growing up on Long Island. So as we go along, hopefully this podcast will morph into more of an interview show. As for now, these are just some rambling thoughts and memories. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
