June certainly is busting out all over! In my part of the world it's very very hot, with temperatures above 100 degrees F - very unusual for this early in the year.
Hope you are doing well, Kids! There is new music on my Indies and Oldies Shows, new CD's and EP's on the way, and I just might start up The Groovy Giveaway again!

Getting great feedback on the Indies & Oldies "Sock Hop Shows" I've been doing - highlighting songs from certain years that charted both in The UK and The USA. Your feedback means the world to me, so please - keep those cards and letters coming in!
The Bumps Radio Ballroom Show just celebrated its first year on the air! It began on our sister station, Homelands Radio, on June 2, 2015 to help "jump-start the station," and after five or six weeks I moved the show over to my home station, Bumps Radio England. It's a great show that highlights Jazz, Swing, and Big Band Music. You never know what you're going to hear on my shows, and that's a big part of the fun!
Studio Engineer Havana Brown Kitty-Boy Seamus has been very busy, mailing out his paw-tograph to those who have requested it! Have you asked for yours? He has postage stamps for all over the planet, so if you want Seamus's paw-tograph, please drop him a message here on the comment form or send an email c/o me at toby dot chicago at yahoo dot com! His fan base grows stronger every month, so get in on the fun!
Still working on those Indie Artist interviews for TobyTalks, my podcast venture that hopefully will be launched by the end of this month. I love Indie Music and Indie Musicians and will do everything I possibly can to promote their work. When I ask you to "Please Buy Indie Music," I am sincere about it. Help support those who are not signed to major labels - and major labels are few and far-between these days, so please help support Indie Music and Indie Musicians. Thank you!
That's all the news for now - no film at eleven! ;)
Thanks for tuning in! www.bumps-radio.co.uk
STAY TUNED, BABIES!
