800 Views

I feel silly calling it a milestone, but my Peanut Whistle videos on YouTube have had over 800 views. Woohoo! I don't know how the site calculates the number. I do suspect that the tally may be considerably more since demographics data is included in the "insight" profiles. How would YouTube know such info without each counted viewer signed in? Yeah, the number is small compared to all the silly cat videos that get a million plus hits; let me have my moment. With that in mind I figure that more people have seen the video tour of my fourth radio home than we had total listeners at the time the station was on the air.

Brush with Country

In the years since today's audio post I have learned to actually appreciate some of the music my radio bosses had me play. Below is the final Southern Gospel aircheck that transitioned into the first with a new Country format on my 3rd radio home. Please allow a moment for the mp3 to load, then press play.

St.Paddy's Day

Oh, how I enjoyed growing up in Savannah, GA; especially this time of year. The climate was mild as Spring entered. And, everyone was Irish (at least for a day.) Are you wearing your green?

We were told that our Saint Patrick's Day Parade and celebration was second only to that of Chicago. The way I saw it ours was much bigger considering the comparable sizes of the cities. All three network TV stations had live coverage. I assume that it's still a big deal down in the Coastal Empire although I can't prove it. I haven't visited in over 16 years. Well, maybe next year. Happy Saint Paddy's day everyone! Erin Go Bragh.

Spring Forward

Just a very brief reminder for those of us in the United States in certain time zones; let's spring forward. Yes, it's that time again to advance our clocks one hour forward. Supposedly this was an attempt to save energy by making the daylight last an hour longer thus switching on our house lights later. That's probably no longer a valid reason, but I see it as the time of year when I cheer up considerably; spring is right around the corner! So, this Sunday morning at 2:00 AM set your clocks and don't be late for church.

Stay tuned
