I'm in California and would sure love to see you all in person! Mar-Huntington Beach, CA Hi Steve,
I was wondering if the Tractors will ever perform as a group again and if you’ll do any appearances. I’m in California and would sure love to see you all in person!

Thanks for the message. We haven't got this site going like we hoped - of course, we still have hope. I love the Midnight Special story... We covered it on two different shows. As far as the request to "keep them going..." we've completed the series, so it's over - at least for now. Last week was the final show (#20). We're looking for sponsors and/or underwriters for another series next year. Thanks again. Steve Ripley Hey Gary…

As far as the request to “keep them going…” we’ve completed the series, so it’s over – at least for now. Last week was the final show (#20). We’re looking for sponsors and/or underwriters for another series next year.

Thanks again.

It's been magnificent, and there's not an hour in my week that goes by faster. Please, keep them going into perpetuity: we'll be listening. Maybe a spot on the Oklahoma roots for Midnight Special? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Special_(song) Keep it coming, and thanks a million! Steve, thanks so much for your work on this series.

Haven't heard such good, real, free-form radio since my radio daze in AZ in the 1970's! Ear-candy! Thanks for making me grin. jimb, norman, ok Oh yeah, are you the only Aggie graduate who can spell good?
