Bill has sent in the the March 2006 edition of his Audio Diary series (the 13th overall entry). This new edition totals 32:29 in length.

Black Sabbath Inducted into US Hall of Fame
March 14, 2006 by
The US HOF ceremony was last night, and Black Sabbath was inducted. Long time visitors to my site know my feelings on the Hall of Fame, but it is still nice to see them get some recognition. Although my gut feeling is that this is the last time we’ll see the four of ’em together […]

February 23, 2006 by
Coming in April is a new double disc live album from Dio entitled “Holy Diver Live”. OK, Dio’s last release before this one was also a live album, but this will definitely be worthwhile. Why? This was recorded on his “An Evening with Dio” tour last year. What’s that? Well, he played the entire Holy […]
