NEWSFLASH:
Mike Danahey of Elgin's _The CourierNews_ newspaper will do a feature article in the coming weeks on WRMN, highlighting my upcoming radio show, "CD Showcase". It is my understanding that the article will be available on the newspaper's website ... and, once I receive it, I will post a link directly to the article.

I cannot wait until April, what with baseball on the way and getting my older 4 MCs out for the spring/summer/fall.

And, of course, I'm looking forward to my radio show. He he ... have you sensed how excited I am about this?!?!?!?!

hey cort ... this might fall into the category of STUPID QUESTION ... but here goes anyway... to access your show via the link you provide, is that for live broadcast only or is there an archive of your broadcasts for those of us who missed the live version?????

 

[Lorraine]

Cort I'm sorry I missed your show Friday. I was soo exausted after I got out of ER, all I wanted to do when I got home was sleep! I hope two catch your show in two weeks!

 

[Guest]

...to access your show via the link you provide, is that for live broadcast only or is there an archive of your broadcasts for those of us who missed the live version?????

Sadly, that is for a LIVE broadcast only.... I do know of one person that tried to record Friday's show, but had technical difficulties and only got parts of it. Not sure if anyone else tried to record it or not . Sorry.....



And, Lorraine ... no worries! I completely understand. Hope you ARE able to listen on April 20 and 27 .

*chuckles*

Yeah, I know ... several people have told me I should do an podcast or something like that ... but, I like the "old fashioned" way . He he.

Would be cool to have you listening. I know a few others had said they would try to listen, but not sure if they did or not ... kinda waited to play a couple artists (like Carrie Underwood) until I knew they are listening .

[Superbob]

Carrie Underwood? Did you say you are going to play Carrie Underwood??

Carrie sang an oldie, "San Antonio Rose," on the Grammy show, and I thought it was absolutely great. I suppose that's not available on any CD or anything yet? Maybe she'll include it on her next album this fall.

Anyway, I confess, Cort. I forgot to tune in last Friday. I will try to Friday, April 20, whether you have any Carrie song or not...

 

[Praline]

I will try to listen in next show. I put an icon for the site on my desktop so I remember and can find the right site.
