BuffaloStyle 4/18/09

Hosted by Christina Abt, with this week's guests:

Richard and Kathy Hillman have joined forces with Captain Kate Mini to bring the Spirit of Buffalo, his 73-foot, red-sailed beauty, home to our historic inner harbor. Their plans call for the ship and her crew to serve as an educational tool for WNY's youth in providing hands-on adventures of sailing along the scenic shores of Lake Erie.

Also, WECK's own Joe Major gives us his live eye report on opening-day at the New York Yankees new multi million dollar stadium.

Music for the day comes compliments of an awesome young singer/songwriter by the name of Mick Hayes.
