Broadcaster Comments
To celebrate the 4th of July I'm broadcasting music and audio clips that I hope will reenforce our national pride of being Americans. During our picnics, backyard barbecues and fireworks displays let's take some time to remember our troops in harm's way who have made our privilaged way of life possible and let's also consider the dark forces that recently have been trying to destroy this way of life from within. God Bless America!
I hope you're enjoying the Westerns. In addition I'll breaking things up with great recordings from other genres. You be listening to Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys and 4 minutes later be into "The Miracle" cut from "Ben-Hur." So if variety is your bag we have it.
As for programing, I have CDs, Records, Tapes and Downloads stacked to the ceiling so I have things pretty well covered. Now this is where you, the listeners, come in. I'm opened to suggestions and I really enjoy hearing from my audience. Let me know you're out there and you like or don't like what you're hearing.
Usually I have more ideas then time to implement them. One of these is my Soundtracks website where I have a (usually) up-to-date playlist of what's on. Along with the track listings there are plenty of pictures from featured movies.
Some of the other headings on my index page include:
Film Composers Where I have pictures, biographical material and stories about such greats as Rozsa, Bernstein, Tiomkin, Steiner, Kaper and many more.
Film Music Preservation Where we honor individuals and organizations who are responsible for keeping these great scores alive or resurectioning those that where thought to be lost.
Links Where as I find great film music websites I share them with any one who wants to look.
A Film Music Store where I display Soundtrack LPs and CDs that I have for sale on eBay. (Watch for this page to grow as we go.)
And my Guestbook Where you can sign in and let me know how I'm doing. I'm open to any and all suggestion.
For your listening pleasure I remix about 70% of all the tracks to maintain a consistent volume level and the best sound possible. There are also cases where I need to "trim the fat" when a piece runs beyond its interesting passage or doesn't get to it for a while. I have just acquired a state-of-the-art turntable which has a 78 RPM speed setting (along with the other 2) and converts them to mp3s. I can see all kinds of possibilities opening up with this.
