[Hpr] Happy new year - should we continue with HPR ?

[Claudio Miranda]

Hey Ken and all,

Happy New Year to you and everyone on the list as well.

I'd love to see HPR continue on. I actually had a couple of shows in
mind to upload, one as a normal show and the other as a reserve show.
Hoping to record and upload them this afternoon, or at least one of
them given the time I have before I have to leave.

We should also be spreading the word as much as possible. I've been
encouraging others on Mastodon to submit a show as they've given some
good ideas for just such a thing. I can only hope that they follow
through.

Regards,

Claudio
