***   **   ***
If you've been following Sonic Clash
you may know last night was my last show. 
It was one of my best decisions to be a part of the KUCI community,
to take that little leap and be able to share 
music with whomever would listen. 
Thank you to all who have been fans and showed their support.
It was awesome to connect with you all, from wherever you were, through music. 

I will, however, try to keep up with this blog and post 
what I'm digging at the moment in the music scene.
And who knows, I may not be able to restrain the itch and come 
back in the the future.
Until then, here is my playlist from last night. . .

It has been a wonderful year of sharing music with you all. 
But, it's not a goodbye just yet, I have 2 more shows to go so I do 
hope you'll join me next week.
