Photos (and music!) from The WMSE Live in the Studio Performance 5-5-06

May 5, 2006

We were asked to help kick off WMSE Radio Spring 2006 pledge drive. Big Johnson and the Thrusters would like to publicly thank everyone at WMSE Radio for asking us to be a part of their day. What follows are photos taken by Ned during our live in-the-studio performance. To enhance your experience we offer the 4 tunes we played that day here for download:

Billy "Dr. Doom", our expert engineer made us sound FABULOUS!

A doo-rag and ear goggles make for interesting headgear Big Johnny!

Marty Miller is caught in a transcendent moment!

We're ON THE AIR BABY!!

It's that SPECIAL ingredient that helps me sing good!

Pate Raunch, pickin' and grinnin'!

Pate Raunch croons! The ladies go wild!

Jim Richards pounds out the beat!

Gary Lee "Big Johnson" says "Not now - I'll tell you when!"

Yeah! Bring the hammer down, Jim Richards!

Ooooh, gotta make room for the quiet, "New Age" sensitive parts too!

I am having *such* a GOOD time - I'm nearly standing beside myself!

It was a REALLY GREAT day at WMSE radio! Thanks everybody!
