Hanging On

"Time has no divisions to mark its passage. There is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year.

The DJs have conceded that they found it very weird at first.

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God,

which is why we call it, the present."
