Technical note: The Casbah is settling into the the new Modsnap Radio studio and didn't get all the bugs worked out before airtime. Unfortunately the pre-amp for the turntable wasn't hooked up, so I had to boost the sound in final editing. The sound has a tinny, shortwave sound that may not be to your liking. I appreciate your patience while I get the bugs out.

I want to personally thank the listeners and friends who've supported the Casbah over the years. And a special thanks to John Onderdonk for allowing me the privilege to work and play on the airwaves. My experience at KSYM has been the defining experience of my life... One that I'll always treasure.
The Casbah may be gone for now, but not forever.
Thank you for all your support.
all the best,
Brian Parrish
