Howdy Y’all,

TMC is gaining ground with a total of 27 stations airing episodes as we release them. WBCC-TV PBS. The University of Central Florida has been our best supporter giving TMC three slots a week in Orlando, Florida. WBCC is home to the largest college campus in the Florida. Thanks Bill Dotson (Program Director) for being such a huge supporter! Bill is no longer a Texas resident but obviously misses his Texas Music…
