01 Nov 09 - 04:38 PM (#2757469) Subject: RE: Folk & World Music on Rocket FM From: Dave Ruch Thanks Vic. Does the show get archived for listening "on demand", or does one need to be listening in real time? |
02 Nov 09 - 05:54 AM (#2757789) Subject: RE: Folk & World Music on Rocket FM From: Vic Smith Dave Ruch asked:- "Does the show get archived for listening "on demand", or does one need to be listening in real time? " Sadly, the programme has no "Listen Again" facility as all the BBC programmes have, but as I said at the time of the interview, I intend to have it recorded from air, which hopefully I will then be able to make into a couple of CDrs to send to you. (And thanks for the photos that you emailed). Vic |
02 Nov 09 - 04:30 PM (#2758197) Subject: RE: Folk & World Music on Rocket FM From: Dave Ruch Listening live right now, Vic. Strangely, I heard your intro and the tracks you are playing from the CD, but none of the recorded dialogue or interview segments in between (it's just silent for minutes at a time between songs). Must be a problem on this end... |
03 Nov 09 - 06:08 AM (#2758539) Subject: RE: Folk & World Music on Rocket FM From: Vic Smith How strange! Tina recorded it off air, listening to it as it was played and said that it sounded fine. You will have to wait for me to make CDrs of the recordings but that will nave to be when I am slightly less busy. |
03 Nov 09 - 08:14 AM (#2758593) Subject: RE: Folk & World Music on Rocket FM From: Dave Ruch I'll sit tight. Thanks for recording it. |
