From WWR
Hi There. I'm an AVID Whole Wheat Radio listener.
I love Independent Music. It has soul that is not squashed by the big bad Corporate Labels.
I adore all things Whole Wheat Radio, including Jim and Esther and the gang.
Artistic in daily life. Love all things colorful and natural: wildflower gardens, mineral makeup, natural bead and silver jewelry and just plain blue Colorado sky.
I work with husband "Colorado Allen" to record our band's CD.
That band is Violet Edge: Rock and Acoustic music. Violet Edge Myspace Page

10/19/08 I got to meet Esther for the first time! She arrived in Denver last night. When Esther arrived in airport, we held up a "WWR" sign. She cracked up right away and loved it!
We talked for 6 hours! Best night ever!!!!!!
Colorado Allen has visited the Wheathole and Wheatpalace so he knows Jim and Esther. Until yesterday, I still believed Esther was an imaginary friend who could type emails and speak online. SHE'S REAL!
We'll see her again Sunday.
- Good to hear she got there OK. I met her Thursday night, had dinner with her and took her to the airport. I have some mythical friends too, one lives in Colorado; someone we call "Pretending to Work". Maybe someday she'll come to Alaska so I can meet her.

7/7/08 Update: Serious sad stuff regarding the Aaron English Band. They are ok, but tour is unknown for the moment. Please send them your warmest thoughts in this time of tragedy. I will report more when they are allowed to give more info.
