Why Fidelity 73 - Cars and Girls

Greetings WhyFi Fans!

Welcome to the 73rd edition of Why Fidelity. Over the last couple of years I've posted (way) more than a hundred podcasts between Why Fidelity and various seasonal specials (Prof Ravensdeath and so on - check out the SensesWorkingOvertime archives for more info on my Halloween and Christmas shows) and it's been a real labor of love. Unfortunately love alone isn't enough anymore and I can no longer afford to run Why Fidelity as a loss leader. From now on it's going to have to grow up, move out of the house and start paying it's own way. That's where you come in...

Please consider making a small donation to help cover Why Fidelity's podcast/blog hosting fees. So long as these very modest costs are covered by generous listener donation s Why Fidelity will be able to continue. Remember, the WhyFi podcast contains no advertising, it's pretty much pure music all the way through, so your support is critical to it's survival.

Thanks for taking the time read my plea and now it's on with the show...
