November 28, 2010 - What a Kick
And what a kick it was! For this week's Freekick show we kicked into the studio, kicked around for two hours, and then kicked right on outta there. We weren't alone, though. A whole bevy of musicians kicked right through the transmitter and computers and right into your speakers.
