Hi from Tennessee!

Hello! I'm a longtime fan of C2C. Started listening around '95 or so, a couple of years before the whole Hale-Bopp/Heavens' Gate debacle. (I still remember Art getting ill with on people who called it "Hale-Bob.")
I remember being shocked the first time Art unceremoniously left the show; I remember being saddened by the death of Ramona; I remember being bewildered by his sudden re-marriage. I stopped listening when Noory took over, because:
1. I detest Noory,
and
2. I have a "day job" now (used to work the graveyard shift, which is why I started listening.)
These days, I catch Punnet on the weekends, when I can. I really like Punnet, though no one will ever replace classic Art for me... there is just something insanely cool about a host broadcasting out in the desert, out of his own freakin' house, talking about subjects he knows intimately, loves and lives. I remember when Art used to refuse to do commercials for products unless he personally used, and loved, the product....
I wonder if radio will ever have another host like classic Art?
