Haven, playing her swing music. She also substituted for "the kids", by presenting some of the "Cruizin' Tunes" that the youngest DJs will be bringing to Salida.

Lonnie and Phil bring their own stereo, so that they can play all their cassettes. They'll open up Sunday mornings with Gospel, followed by pop classical music. Lovely people!
