I've had many requests over the years to post some of my shows on line. It's a great deal of work to transfer them from cassette to CD and then to sound file and so on. I've decided though to post a few random clips of episodes.
Basically I'm not really weeding out my favorites (because that would also take too long). I simply grabbed whatever tapes were convenient and began transferring.
I hope you enjoy. See the audio player at the bottom of this post for listening.
I used to be very insistent on making all of my flyers by hand. I felt it was very "punk rock". Eventually I gave in to technology. I think I've finally found a way to combine technology with my old fashioned analog method.
In an effort to personalize the music to my listeners (and hopefully teach a little soul history) each week I would highlight certain artists on their birthdays. Something that has disturbed me about SOME soul record collectors/DJs is that I often witness a disconnect between appreciating the music and awareness of the history and artists who made the music. This was something I tried to combat on my show.
This particular episode featured the Jimmy McCracklin Blue Plate Birthday Special.
I also included the Community Billboard which some folks might find boring. However, I chose to include it in case some long term Oly residents find it interesting. It's VERY Olympia.
