Episode VI is gonna be kind of special. We are attempting to get as many people to connect live as possible, so if your on the fence about whether you'll listen, get off it and tune in. We are attempting to do some techinical analysis of maximum activity. We are pretty busy this week, but we are going to put in extra effort to make this show special. I have the epsidoe 6 page up, but it does not say much more than the usual. Tomorrow (Tues) I will update it with some more info so be sure and check it out. So, see you then.

*grumble* I don't usually have access to a computer before 9:00 EST - but will see if I can do this....

I'd like to anyway, but haven't wanted the domestic problems inherent in signing on.

I was totally pissed that I missed last week's live show. The power went out here about an hour before the show and stayed off most of the evening. I believe it was the first show I have entirely missed. I will be here for the next. And the next. And the next.

MMario, maybe this episode can be titled something like "How to treat your wife like a princess" or "How to be the best damn father in the land" or "Buying very large diamonds for that special someone". Would that help?

nope. it's worse then that. I am the proverbial poor relation living with a sister and her husband. - and while you're reading threads; MAX! Did you ever get the cassette I sent?

Yes MMario I did. Would you like me to put it online for everyone to hear? I dug it.

Max, you may do with it what you will, with the exception of the couple of songs I pointed out that are copyright (Sailor's prayer and whatever the other one was)

Now THAT would probably be leverage enough to get permission to log on.....hmmmmmm, maybe I should just fib...

But basically I just wanted to know if you had ever gotten it.

So, just for MMario, how about Episode VI-Sibling Rivalry
or, To A Sister Dear
or, Possession is 9/10ths of the law
or, name it after her
or, Hatfields & McCoys
or, Home Alone...I wish!

I'll be there, Max.

Like to listen live but like a lot of net radio shows there's too much net congestion so live is kinda unreliable. Something to do with bandwidth and and copper twisted pair wire. There is a way to get a show and hear it all, file. Download the file.

In previous Radio threads, someone always provided a click phrase for connection to the show. Last night I actually didn't know where to go to get in, and the "radio" link on the forum page only gave a preview. Howsabout a hot button to the current Real Audio connection on the forum page for cyber dumbasses like myself? Maybe called "Mudcat Radio Live Connection"?

Uh, LeeJ, far be it for me to state the obvious, but you wouldn't find anythng but a preview for a show that isn't going to be taped until tomorrow.*g* There are connections for the past shows, but I am sure you knew that. No, no, I am not questioning the inestimable LeeJ, purveyor of most things electronic, storyspinner extry-ordiniare, and Tavern mate o'mine.*BG*

Max, I just sent you a tape, literally about 30 minutes ago, but then, of course, I realised, you're probably leaving really soon to go to FSGW, so, well, anyway, um, it's on the way!

Well, I guess. As usual I get bogged down with this and that, and trying to get ready for the getaway... Never enough time. But we're on for tonight live, so we'll be pushing it. Oh jes, that reminds me. I need to run over to the music store and get some new strings. Oh, well, at least I'm well rested today (rare). Am I all set? That's not a fair question.

Oh, poor Max. I'm sorry. I knew you must be swamped with the Getaway, just anxious as usual to hear the dulcet tones of your sweet wailin' blues and Bert's wonderful commentary and songs. Glad you're at least rested, darlin'. Take a deep breath and have fun this weekend. We'll miss ya. kat

Sounded really great, Max. I really think it sounded more enlivened; with all of the different things going, all of the interactive stuff, it was really exciting and the time just sped by! Everyone and all of the music sounded wonderful. The lighting was much better, too.

Thanks to you, Bert, Howie, Michael and everyone else who so tirelessly puts in all of their time and souls to make this happen.

Rog comes home from work about twenty minutes into the show. He walked in tonight, music was on, he smiled and said he guessed he was going to have to start bringing home some Guiness for his Wednesday nights at the *Cafe*. He has the regular stereo hooked up to the 'pewter, so we can be out in the kitchen making supper or elsewhere in the house and listen in. Makes it so much fun and we really look forward to it. Thanks, again,

*sigh*... Had problems, but they were my end. Logged in to the chat, had the RA up, got about 30 seconds worth of song and then the whole thing crashed in a big electronic SNAFU. Just got my system sorted out a few minutes ago.

Technology... the other white meat.
