Happy Holidays From The Cafe!
It has been another wonderful year for KC Cafe Radio! Hard to imagine that in a few short months, KC Cafe Radio will be five years old! As of this writing, we boast a music rotation of just over 3,000 songs from 440 unique artists.
That development would not have been possible without the faith and trust instilled in us by the musicians whom you hear and read about here. They are all excellent musicians and individuals, and we consider ourselves fortunate to have them playing on The Cafe.
More importantly we are grateful for you, dear listener and connoisseur of this music. We know you have a lot of choices for music discovery, and we are honored that you have chosen KC Cafe Radio as your venue to that end. As we march onward into a new year, we pledge to continue to work hard at bringing you The World's Finest Original Music.
As we all soon gather to spend time with family, we here at KC Cafe Radio take this opportunity to wish you and yours a happy holiday, and all the best in the new year.
Happy Holidays!
