Ronnie Gets Billy “On the Pulse”
Last Wednesday, our Minds fan and local radio legend, Ronnie McGhie, had non other than Billy Sloan on his show for Pulse 98.4.

It officially starts on Saturday, but because I’ll be away in London seeing Catherine, I will most likely start during the week….
So….It’s The Beginning Of The End
Perhaps….subconsciously I could feel it too? In light of what I was saying in my vlog post today? Go out with a bang? Leave them wanting more? Never talk about that bloody “R” word…. But, there we are! Without him actually saying it, Jim just said it on the Billy Sloan show. I guess it…
