Okay, welcome back to, 'Here's the Missing Links.' Life has been busy and hair-raising so it's kept me from uploading the shows in a timely fashion and posting the links. Remember, these links are the source of information used on the program. If there's anything I forget to post or info you need help on, drop me a line at oldpunk@cjlo.com or twitter me @knoxkp and I'll be glad to help.
