Murphy's Law

It appears that Mercer Radio has run afoul of Murphy's Law of technology (I don't know who that guy Murphy is, but I want him dead!).  Our server has failed, and therefore our stream is down.  The Jeff Scott Show will return in August for the beginning of the new school year.  I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable summer.
