In case you don't know about Hober Radio, please click here for a Real Audio link.

I am just curious how many of us listen to it and how many Mudcatters we hear on there. Sourdough posted hearing Rick Fielding recently. I just had the pleasure of hearing our own Art Thieme doing In & Around Nashville, from his CD, "The Older I Get, the Better I Was." What a pleasure.

So, how about, we use this thread to report when we do hear one of our own on there?

Great music!!

Thanks,

kat

Love these guys. I keep 'em on my desktop and play them in the background when working at home. A delightful spectrum of world folk. Love 'em.

Well, since I started this thread, Hober has been pretty consistent about playing Kendall's stuff. Just thought I'd do an update. The past two days I've been listening all day long. I am working on jewellry, so my back is to the computer, so, I cannot immediately see who is up next on the playlist.

My ears are tuned in even more then and it has been a pleasure. In the past two days I have heard Art Thieme, Rick Fielding, Seamus Kennedy, Kendall Morse, all Mudcatters! Also have heard Utah Philips, Boarding Party and many other great ones. If you haven't sent them your CD's I would strongly urge you to do so. This station has the most open, eclectic mix I've ever heard and NO Talking, except an ID once in awhile! if you've never tuned in, give it a try!

Sounding good fellahs!

The feeling is mutual, Reggie, I am just passing on what I learned here, too. Glad you like it and I look forward to hearing you on there!

MMario, that's right! I love ren-radio, too!

You're welcome, John.

Thanks, again, everyone.

Larry, if you go to www.hober.com there are email links which you could use to write to them and ask. I looked around, but couldn't find an addy for sending stuff in; I know folks have, though, so maybe you just have to email, first. I do know they are situated outside Washington, D.C. and that they do live shows, with a live audiences, sometimes, too, which have been just great.

Good luck,

kat

I sent in our CD (Homemade Jam - Yesterday's Road) a year or so back and they put the one of the cuts, "Simple Gifts" into the rotation for a while. I haven't heard it lately, but I don't get to listen very often.

Try this for RenRadio:

Sometimes the free RealAudio player doesn't work, for no known reason. Live365 (which is where this link gets you) is worth some browsing, if you have time on your hands.

Well, I came in near the tail end and by the time i got the window up, all I saw was the band name, but I think it was something about a squishy bug and it was a woman's voice at the end. Does that help?*bg* What I heard was great!

So my question is: Do the artists being aired receive royalties? Should my pal from the Boarding Party expect a check for $.27?

Subject: RE: HOBER Radio plays Mudcatters
From: katlaughing
Date: 09 May 02 - 02:05 PM

Fortunato, I think it is probably like Mudacat radio and most other stations, in that they pay a fee to ASCAP and BMI and they sort it out, which doesn't really help much, does it?:-)

I'll be listening for their music, though!

LOL, Midchuck!

Just listening to our own Rick Fielding doing a fantastic job with Alouette Le Bastringue from his Lifeline CD. I never get tired of hearing this one, esp. Now, I'm going to have to get out the liner notes of my copy to see who it was did the fiddling. Grand job, all!

Just heard a great song, really enjoyed it, enough to turn around and look at the display to see who it was (I was working off-computer at a nearby desk) ...lo and behold it was our own Woodchuck's Revenge doing Boxers and Socks! Love that line about not playing second-fiddle to an Eastern girl!*bg*

Subject: RE: HOBER Radio plays Mudcatters
From: Midchuck
Date: 23 Sep 02 - 08:09 PM

Either they did two songs or they misscalled the title.

Boxers and Socks is our Fox on the Run parody. The line about not playing second fiddle to an Eastern girl is from Wrangling Dudes. Muh littul gurl writ that!

But I'm glad they're playing whatever they're playing.

Is Wranglin' Dudes on a CD of the Boxers and Shorts variety by any chance? I just had a quick glance and B&S was what I saw BUT I really liked the one I heard which had to be WD. Tell yer darlin'gyrlchild she did good!

Subject: RE: HOBER Radio plays Mudcatters
From: Midchuck
Date: 24 Sep 02 - 12:25 PM

Dudes and Boxers are adjacent cuts on the Fill One Room CD. Somebody just punched in the wrong number.

Our notes on the album say:

WRANGLING DUDES was written by Peter and Kris' daughter Andrea after working on dude ranches in Montana and Wyoming. You change their diapers; you lie awake the first time they're out past your bedtime; you go into hock for the tuition - and, if you're really lucky, you get to steal their songs... (lead vocal: Kristina)

I've been trying to listen to the local stations, lately, so haven't had Hober on. How fitting that today, having it on for the first time in almost a month, the first thing I hear is Rick Fielding's Docherty's Jig Stairstep off his Lifeline CD. Sounded great, as always!

I was wondering if you had done that, JP. They play a lot fo instrumental, so I am sure they will and I will make sure to request it AND report it, here!:-)

Right now, I am listening to Pitman Blues on Rick's Lifeline CD. Sounds great!

I just emailed these folks and they gave me the go ahead to send a submission in. They did mention though that they are backed up to the tune of about a hundred plus cds to give a once over listen to. I'm going to drop one to them today if I can get to the post office in time.

Listening today, had it turned down low as I was on the phone. Then my ears perked up and I thought, "I know that voice!" Yes, indeed, it was Rick Fielding Singing Company Town! Wha-Hoo!! Sounded great!

Just heard a beautiful cut, "Gordon's Farewell," off a CD entitled "Gatherings." The artist was "Gordon Bok and a Host of Maine Musicians." I'll bet our Kendall is on that one, too. It really was a gorgeous tune.

I was on his "Another Land made of water" but as a chorus singer. My Maine accent doesn't always work with Gordon's songs. No, I wasn't on Gatherings.

Oh shucks, I thought for sure you would be on there, Kendall. Still, I wouldn't want anything to happen to your *authentic* accent!:-)

Just now I am listening to Woodchucks Revenge doing "Boxers and Socks." It is such a pretty song and, of course, they are great musicians!
