The LOST Score Repost - Debut and Intro

2009-09-10T09:55:00.000-07:00

Here it is...the original debut of "The LOST Score", as presented originally on the "Dharmalars" feed. This episode debuted October 10th, 2006.

Please note: The Audio is very poor. The first few episodes were done on the super cheap. It wasn't long though till I bought new equipment and the show took off. That said, I've heard worse.

Enjoy the 2 minutes that started it all :)
