Leap day, the one extra day that comes around every four years. That’s what it took to get back to normal. Except for the snowstorm, which turned our brown winter nicely white. I hope that isn’t becoming a once-every-four-years thing too.

The weather kept Julio up in his mountain hideaway, so I did back-to-back shows. Clipper, who haunts the studio most of the time these days, stopped in for part of my show and launched Julio’s with a live set from one of The Monkees 2001 reunion shows in remembrance of Davy Jones, who died today. I’ve nonetheless omitted that set from the playlist.
