I think we are close to what you all want and the future is the Woodsongs webcast. It is now cheaper, at least in Chicago, to get a dsl line than having a second phone line for the pc. This will allow me to watch the Woodsongs webcast live. The next step, for me, will be to get a 20+gig mp3 player, so that I can watch webcasts on the train while I commute, or replay them on the tv.
I would hope that in the near future Mountain Stage, Prairie Home, River City Folk and other great radio shows will also be able to webcast.
This would mean a lot of Opry's all over the "dial."
Could I be right?
While I'm at it, be sure to watch what happens with the new movie, "A Mighty Wind." It is supposed to be a great comedy and the time may be right for it to start the next great "Folk Scare!"
