Thanks to the Content and Production Director at KFAI, I have found one of my very first AutheNick recordings. My dear friend Tim C, left his earthly body behind on Thanksgiving Day of this year, 2020. I knew, after his passing, that I HAD TO recover his episode. With immense gratitude and love, I share with you, Tim C. Wanted Dead or Alive. Sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll, divorce(s), alcohol and…hope.
