[WXYC playlists <wxyc-playlists AT lists.ibiblio.org>]

Hi,
This will be the last chart I send out as music director as the music 
department here at WXYC will from here on be headed up by the very capable 
David Harper.

His office hours are not settled for the summer yet, so all tracking until 
then should be via email.

Thanks,
Evan, David, WXYC
