The Blog Beat

Summer 2010 was fun. Facing an empty nest for the first time I am returning to the blogging beat in earnest. In the coming few days we at the Peanut Whistle are gathering a host of ideas both in written and audio form, maybe even video with our YouTube account. I’m playing it by ear. Speaking of video, take the old studio tour as we celebrate over 1,000 viewers on http://www.youtube.com/user/jimoneal1520

Our goal is to combine all of the Peanut Whistle stuff into one website: the blogs, podcasts, radio station and video. If you explore this blog in depth, most of these things will be at your fingertips.

Before I close today, congratulations are in order to one of my former radio homes that is located in Bremen, Georgia. After a couple of decades as a gospel station they have flipped to an oldies format and are streaming online at http://www.1440thetrain.com What a great era we live in! The present owners took over the station 17 years ago, shortly after my time there. They struggled with the Southern Gospel format for years. Best of luck to them. I consider that station one of my radio babies. My friends David, Corky and I laid groundwork which we moved from our metro Atlanta radio homes into the original “Peanut Whistle” out in rural west Georgia. I have listened, they seem to have some great imaging packages and I like the new nickname, the Train. Daddy’s proud. I’ll be listening Monday to their—hopefully live—Morning Show, expect a review in Gospel Aircheck.

Stay tuned
