last  MITM Martini Glass  call
 
I sincerely hope that you enjoy listening to Martini in the Morning as much as we enjoy playing the coolest, swingin'est, most romantic music on the radio for you. As we said earlier, we've had some challenges, but the very interactive Martini in the Morning family can handle anything together. And I'm not just talking about the struggles we've experienced keeping MITM on the air and growing these past almost 9 years.

A Facebook post that's been floating around for a few months had caught my eye, but I don't usually do those mass posts. This one in particular had given me a lot to think about - it was basically Golden Rule stuff, but went beyond that, encouraging us all to go a little easier on the folks we encounter, even taking the opportunity to lift them up, because we never know what troubles might be hiding behind a smile. When a friend whom I really respect and admire posted this piece on his Facebook page early one morning, I thought if he was posting it, something must be going on, something must've really motivated him. So I followed suit. What followed was an outpouring of messages, some asking if I was ok. Some sharing pain or sadness in their life, and how this uplifting Facebook message had touched their heart. 

I want to thank you for the validation we get when you tune in. A lot of hard work by a lot of people has gone into MITM over the years. Your words of support, inspiration and encouragement, along with your investment in our efforts to keep the music playing for you get us through even the most challenging days. Supporting, Sponsoring, Sharing the Martini - if all of us practiced the 3-S's, at least two out of three, we'll be here together, enjoying the greatest songs ever written, for a long time.

Cheers!
