In addition to this blog, some of the other places we hang out in cyberspace include on SteveAndJohnnie.com, on ourFacebook page, on Twitter, on the SteveAndJohnnieShow'sYouTube Channel, on our Yahoo Group and, believe it or not, there is even more with still more cyber-real estate in our future.

Don't forget, you've still got this week to submit your vacation pictures for our Monthly Photo Challenge.  The current theme is "What I Did On My Summer Vacation." If your photo wins, it will be made into a Phuzzles Puzzle.

We return from our "fact finding" mission to a VERY full week.  We'll run the gamut from vacation pictures and stories to the historic events of September 11 that changed this country forever to an in-studio performance and the usual/unusual variety of guests and topics.

So, how does it all play out?  Well, at the moment, here's how things shape up.

The night/morning of September 11/12, 2001 is one we'll never forget.  It was one of those nights when the purpose of our show was to function as a radio version of a psychiatrist's couch, just letting people share their personal experience, their grief, their anger, their confusion .. their emotions.  Ten years after that night/morning, we'll take a little time to reflect on how we have changed since September 11th

Our New Music Monday Magic Laser is stuck on an album we bought while on our "fact finding" mission, Hugh Laurie's "Let Them Talk."  So, we thought we'd share it with the rest of the class.

If you'd like more information on all the New Music Monday albums and artists we featured during the past couple of years, you'll find it right here.

For many years, as our Monday night segued into the wee hours of Tuesday morning, we'd check redhotred.com to see who our friend Les Paul had been jamming with at the Iridium Jazz Club, inNew York. Now and then Les would surprise us with a call after his show. Once again, tonight we'll take a few minutes and remember the amazing Les Paul and his legacy as we revisit part of an interview, a story, a laugh or, most importantly, his music and listen to "A Little More Les."

Don't forget, you can keep up with the latest Les Paul news and events by checking out the Les Paul Foundation website.

TUESDAY NIGHT / WEDNESDAY MORNING:

Joining us tonight with the latest automotive news, road test results and answers to your new and used car questions is Consumer Guide Automotive's Associate Publisher, Tom Appel and Online Managing Editor Jennifer Geiger
