About Me

NOTE: As of August 31, 2006, Finger On The Pulse is on hiatus. I have given up my timeslot and am taking a break from producing the show. Not sure if I'll pick it up again or not. I still plan to keep the upcoming shows list up-to-date, so come out for a show instead of watching one on TV! Many thanks for all of your support during the two years I produced the show.Old profile:I am a TV show produced by Sarah Gordon that features great indie music in the San Francisco Bay Area. I air on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month from 9:30pm - 10:00pm on San Francisco Cable Channel 29.
