Listening Lyrics - Special guest ALEX ROTH of the WEST NILE RAMBLERS

A RARE treat this week. ALEX ROTH of the band WEST NILE RAMBLERS  will be my guest for the whole hour. This very talented individual will discuss his music, his band, the artists that have influenced him and of course - coffee.

The WEST NILE NILE RAMBLERS were brought together by a desire to play music as often as possible, This band brings years of experience and a depth of understanding to a smörgåsbord of music styles. Don't be surprised if you hear Jazz, Cajun, and Bluegrass tunes at a WNR show near you. Their fairly simple arrangements are made special by their very tight musicianship. Also, they have been known to bicycle to their gigs with all their gear. Gotta give them some credit for that.

The show will air Friday, March 1, 2013 at 4:00PM.

Drupal: Advanced Posting

 

Hey all! Welcome back to Drupal tutorials! This post is primarily pointed at DJs who may want to add a little more pizazz to their show pages or blog entries. This information is only recommended for those who have some experience with HTML coding. 

The standard body text input shows users an upper level of actual workings. You're seeing the final product of a complex structure of code. To gain access to the more basic levels of the code, hit the "Disable rich-text" option. 

There is then a drop down menu, allowing you to view three separate types of HTML: filtered HTML, full HTML, and plain text. Choose an option according to your needs and comfort level. 

From here, you can "easily" embed video or do anything else that you fancy HTML people know how do. This is the section that allows you to be most creative with your entries, given that you know how to do so. 

As always, don't forget to save.

Listening Lyrics - a discussion with Marque Cass of "Tha Dirt Feelin"

This weeks Listening Lyrics will talk with Marque Cass of "Tha Dirt Feelin". A Davis based group that will be performing (Friday 2/15/13) at Beat Night at the John Natsoulas gallery.

To describe the band I will use Marque's own words ""Our music is, in my opinion, a very original and eclectic amalgamation of hip-hop, soul, and rock & roll. It is always upbeat, positive, and danceable. Our lyrical styles range from rapid-fire raps that may remind you of Bone Thugs ‘n Harmony or Three Six Mafia to soulful crooning that evokes Sam Cooke or Bill Withers."

I have heard Marque at the Dr. Andy poetry reading series and frankly Marque blew me away with his presentation and passion.

Soooo - to catch this very special event tune in on Friday at 4:00PM on 95.7FM or on line at www.kdrt.org
