My Friend Steve Hirshon and Me on the Air

2/22/2018
My friend Steve Hirshon passed away December 1st, 2017. As The Lorenzo Commentaries started on a magazine show Steve had in 2005 and continued when he moved to Thursday morning as Hukkin' a Chainek I realize with Steve gone, it's time yo retire TLC as well. This is a compilation I put together for a remembrance for Steve in January at Jay York's Last Church on the Left in Portland, but technical glitches wouldn't let it play in its entirety. Here it is now. I miss you every day, Steve, but especially Thursday mornings.
