Hello out there in Radio Land!

Our understanding is that the transition teams in the new administration, including those at the FCC, will be using some social change websites to guage interest on certain issues. Help LPFM stations like our stay healthy by supporting the expansion of the LPFM service to larger cities and towns.

Update: This change.org initiative finished in 7th place in the technology policy- not bad considering "finish adopting the metric system" was in the top 3, which went on to the next round.

Hey fellow Radio Landers!

The is my first plunge into the blog pool.  One thing I would like to mention is that there were more tracks to the 11/30 "Hunt Special" broadcast of The Golden Road.  What did not make to the playlist (due to my technical nubialness!) was:

Wharf Rat and One More Saturday Nite, both tune were also from the Wembley Empire Pool theatre in London, April of '72.

PLAYLIST for THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS

when i was a lass, some o'these tunes came out da radio and i secretly liked them, vocally hated them.
they were my mother.

as a liberated adult, i've come to recognize the beauty within their aches and how she passed them along.

THANKS MA, i will forever ache.

Last night twenty or so people were treated to an exquisite evening of jug band music at N Street co-housing. The Axelrod Ensembele: Meredith Axelrod (guitar, jug, vocals), Bill Foss (banjolin, vocals), Keith Cary (commodium, fiddle, harmonica, cello, vocals), and special guest Robert Armstrong (guitars, jug, ukelele, saw); presented a night of world class jug band music. 

Thanks Davis!

It was a sweet Saturday fall evening, perfect temperature, the stages were up, Jim, Cliff and Doc had us wired for sound. Autumn brought it all together, as only Autumn can: Pete with permits; Jeff spray painting signs; Darrick taking inventory; Rod vacuuming; Tree setting out fresh cut veggies from Farmer’s Market; fairy lights; hot dogs on the grill; chips and salsa from Dos Coyotes, and the kegs, so generously donated by Sudwerk and the Coop, resting in a bed of ice.
