This Program Guide has been much delayed by my inability to function properly since suffering a heart attack on February 10 and open heart surgery on Valentine’s day, from which I’ve been recovering at Heart Hospital and then Hartford Rehab Center on the west side of Detroit. I’m about to go home today and continue my recovery on an outpatient basis at the Rehabilitation Institute of while I concentrate on making and posting the programs for April on Radio Free Amsterdam.

It took me an inordinate amount of time to complete the March programming but now it’s all in order and thanks to Steve The Fly everything is posted for the month, so here’s the Program Guide for your records. Next month’s Guide should be right on time on the first of the month, even though it’s April Fool’s Day.
