Apologies for the poor quality and short broadcast this week.
The mp3 recording program crashed, losing ALL the recording,
so this is "capped" from the Facebook Live video of the broadcast actually being recorded
(hence the constant "crashing" of the music, as I was replying to people's comments on the FB Live stream).
Hopefully, next week's broadcast will be back to the usual standard!
