Free associate on Sunday night with me. 

IM me via AOL (screenname IUPRADIO), give me a call at 724-357-WIUP (during the show, or you'll confuse the other DJs) or even leave a comment below if a particular 'away' song strikes your fancy and you'd like me to play it.  Otherwise, you're once again at my mercy.
