Thread Name: Advice for new CD radio airplay
Subject: RE: Advice for new CD radio airplay
as a d.j. who subscribes to the folk d j list, i find it a great resource. there are organic, non plastic cases which have a spine
this is important when scanning the stacks for a selection...true,
sleeves do get sandwiched between cases and get lost in the shuffle at times. (as an aging d.j. i also would add a plea for LARGE TYPE AND HIGH CONTRAST COLORS FOR EASY VISIBILITY...fancy scrolling font with grey and pink letters may be difficult for some of us curmudgeon types)

I have however gotten several books..such as Christine Lavin's One Meat Ball...a recipe book with c.d. and also some other books and book-lets. The question is whether you can afford to send these.

You can post on folk d.j. and those who are interested can
contact you and let you know if the book is of interest or not...

i often do read from liner notes on my show...
and one feature of my radio show is that i read from farmer's
almanacs, so the spoken word is a part of my show.

some d.j.'s hardly say a word, even to mention who and what they
are playing...i feel this does the performers a dis-service. I
figure a big part of my job is to let people know who they are
listening to as well as where to get recordings if they want to!

good luck
