When Casey Danton, newslady extraordinaire is absent, all heck breaks loose.  We never know how to cope.  Levack is too busy producing, Sean too busy cohosting, and I'm too preoccupied with rhyming.  So we brought in the big guns:  our faithful listeners!

Our first good sport was Dan Keefe of Troy.  Dan won us over from the moment he walked in.  He was dressed like me, complete with mismatched sneakers, high socks and a hat that said "Grampa" on it.

He then lifted his shirt to reveal a Yankees T shirt in tribute to Levack, and brought in jelly donuts, Sean's favorite, to prove that he reads our blogs.  WINNING!    Here was his stellar performance.

Our second tryout was Grace Janikas who was just as enthusiastic, and took on the assignment with equally good humor.  She even threw out personal shoutouts during the weather forecast.

 

Grace by the way also is in charge of a charity organization called "Grace's Closet", where she shares with those in need.  To find out more, find her on Facebook .

Both Grace and Dan readily admitted that this "news thing" is alot harder than people think, so Casey - you're gig is secure, but congrats to both!

You can comment on their performances below.  But please, no harsh criticism.  This was all done for fun!
