Wish I was close enough to pick up your station...I'm about 10 m. east of Paso Robles, and on a clear day can get NPR from Santa Cruz, but that's about it. Good luck with your show...

If you ever get to put the show out as an Internet Radio station, let us know, and get a world wide audience.

The ABC (Like your BBC) had a wonderful radio show over, here once upon a time, called "Folk and Beyond". Murray Jennings, the best folk presenter/producer I have ever heard, said he called it that so he could play anything he thought his audience would enjoy, and if challenged that it was not folk, could always say "I know, it's BEYOND".

The programme was unfortunately scrapped by the powers that be in the ABC when they started down the road to "ratings". I'm sure he wouldn't mind you using the name if you liked it.

Mike, I've been doin' "Acoustic Workshop" for 15 years now, and still have a ball every week.

Enjoy yourself. If you want any of my stuff just e-mail Folk-Legacy records for "Lifeline" and Borealis Records for "This One's the Dreamer", or "Six Strings North of the Border".

Cheers

Rick

Laurel, be sure and get a 50 megagazillion watt transmitter on a repeater so I can hear it up here in North Idaho.

thanks all you well wishers..
i did read Rachel Corrie over the air
and had 2 hours filled with tunes and
songs...once when i was explaining the
Faustian imagery of teh Crossroads
theme, going on about selling my soul
to the devil, Rob't Johnson, etc. I
got a phone call to remind me that the
studio mike was still on! oops...the
secret is out...debut, indeed!
I played the Duct Tape Blues, an Emmy Lou
sond which was in French, Tom Paxton's
song in memory of the fire fighters at
the World Trade Center, songs of life and
death, and implored folks to share with
humanitarian organizations like UNICEF,
Red Cross, and the local Peace Center.
Keep a light burning for peace! Laurel
today Oroville, tomorrow the world!!
thanks for offers of tunage for future
show...knobs, dials, meters, so much to learn!

oh, yeah, and a Bald Eagle flew over me on the way to the studio.
I took that sighting as a good omen, and was encouraged!!

Laurel, best of luck with the program. A few of my CDs are on the way. Where is Yankee Hill near to?
I'm going to be in Monterey for their highland Games the 1st weekend in August. I'd love to pick up the show while I'm there.
All the best.

great good fortune!
thanks for support, donations, and all!
yankee hill is upstream from Oroville.
Oroville is in Butte County
(or County Butte )and is a couple of
hours north of Sacramento. 1/2 hour
south of Chico. (between san francisco
and reno)as it is a low power station,
the signal does not reach far, yet,
but repeaters ad web streaming are on
the agenda. Not yet a year old, the
station is just getting off to a start.
I am going to see if i can stream the
signal thru my pal talk room on sat.
the 12 of april...i will put up an
announcemnt/invite...thanks, y'all!

What type of program do you have planned? I looked at the station site and it looks as if there is perhaps a program of old time music and another bluegrass show listed on the schedule. I have some CD's that fall into those genres. Should I send you them?

My show is not actually on the web site schedule yet\\\\
as last weekend was my opening offering. I would like to
feature acoustic, bluegrass, old-timey, celtic, "americana",
singer/songwriter, "folk", gospel, blues, esp. songs with a
message or commentary contained within! Any submissions
welcomed, and shared! I hope to feature live music whenever I get
the chance. Thank you, and if anyone has resource info to
share for a fellow radio programmer, that would help me as
I launch into this new area.
working on the 50 mega-zillion transmitter!
(or at least one that would get the signal to
my house 30 miles away for a start!!)
I expect to stream the signal thru the mudcat
room on the pal talk web site next show as I
have invited live musicians to play fiddle tunes
becaus the CA state fiddle championships will be
happening at that time in Oroville, a couple of
blocks form the station!!! and there will be no
royalty issues with live, traditional music!!
I perform at the contest, too, as an accompanist
for some of the junior and senior fiddlers, so as
a member of the old time fiddle association, hope
to get others to come by the station. I have sent
to several record labels for submissions for the
show, and appreciate the out pouring of mudcats
donations ...love you all!! Laurel (a.k.a. radio
name: "Common 'Tater)
