Due to a technical glitch, the handover to "stunt moderation" while Alan
is in Kerrville took a couple of days to iron out. We now resume with
messages from the queue; thanks for your patience.

>All ye who have decent radio stations, I hope you appreciate them!
We have them because we MAKE them. Most folk DJs are volunteer
(unfortunately).
Many commercial stations have "specialty" shows that give the (paid) DJs a
bit of relief from the usual pre-programmed format.
Perhaps you could talk with your local stations about wanting a specific
type of music. They might allow you to do a regular show. They might get
one of their regular DJs to do it. They might not. But they won't change
anything without input.

Hi,
KDHX plays over the internet and has some of the best folk shows on radio.
I
heartily recommend Blue Highways on Sat. 8 to 10 am CDT, Songwriter's
Showcase
9 to noon on Wed. CDT, there are several other shows whose time escape me at
the moment, Women of Note, That Girl, Ireland in America it's all on their
web
page. I realize you can't listen in your car unless you record on cassette
and take with you, but don't dispair, it's all relative anyway at least you
get to see Carrie Newcomer more often than we do in St. Louis.
Later on,
Rich

Subject: REVIEW: David Massengill at Imagine Studios
I had the pleasure of seeing David Massengill perform Saturday night at
Imagine Studios in Amesbury, MA. Extolling the virtues of loafing, lying
and laughter ("the kind that makes your life longer"), David captivated the
audience with songs and stories that were by turns striking and subtle in
their honesty and impact. Whether reading from family letters, telling
(tall) tales about the Cherokee who built his dulcimer, or commenting on
his own experiences along the way, David's slow, eloquent delivery ranks
him among the best storytellers I've seen. When he sang, accompanying
himself on mountain dulcimer for eight of his eleven songs, David's
delivery was without pretense or ego-- each song, old or new, emerged in
his effortless Southern style.
If you enjoy a performer who has as much heart as talent, and aren't afraid
to sit and think for a spell, don't miss David Massengill.

Stan is right. And I, here in Boston, DO appreciate our great radio
stations. I have often wondered what other cities have good folk radio
because I honestly think that that *could* be a determining factor should I
ever chose to move. ;-) Where else is there good radio?

Subject: Re: "Roll Your Own"
Before you go out & buy a CD burner for recording off the net, look into
one of the minidisc recorders available for a street price of around $300
at your local audio outlet. I guess Sony developed the technology but
several companies now make compatible discs for around $5.00 each. They
record digitally at 44KHz and although the data is compressed it's very
close to CD quality. The discs record 74 minutes stereo, 148 mono, and
they're re-recordable. I've recorded concerts off the soundboard and
have been very happy with the quality for personal use. The live Guy
Davis CD 'Stomp Down Rider' is credited with being recorded on a
minidisc. The usual disclaimers apply and this may be of limited f_m
content, but maybe since the price is difference between these & CD
burners is so great, there may be redeeming social value. --Dale Ott

[ Stuntie sez: The lowest street prices for minidisc recorders - roughly
$400 - are in line with, or slightly higher than, the lowest street prices
for CD-R recorders. Each system has its own distinct advantages: the MDR is
portable and its product is small and easy to store. The CD-R is much more
flexible and can be used for music, data, or combinations thereof. For more
information about minidiscs, visit the Minidisc Community Home Page at
http://www.minidisc.org/ . For more on CD-R (and the variant technology,
CD-RW) you might try the PC Magazine summary at
http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/features/cd-rw/index.html . ]

Subject: Deborah Bartley
I had the privilege of seeing Deborah Bartley, an L.A.-based
singer-songwriter perform at Twiggs Coffeehouse in San Diego
Saturday night, and was blown away by her high energy, sensual,
tactile renditions of dark original lyrics, delivered with
intonations that reminded me of Wendy MaHarry and Ani Difranco,
yet were completely original and stylistically unique.
Her debut CD "These Small Rooms" is available from WanderingEye
Music, 213-850-8647, and has the following tracks:
Bruised Fruit
Save Yourself
Too Young
Hey Lady
Get Out
Last Words
Vistas
Pave Your Own Way
Ollie Ollie All Come Free
Playing With My Mind
Use Me
No One To Blame
Deborah's web site is located at http://home.earthlink.net/~dbartley/
and will soon have lyrics, show dates, and online CD ordering.
If you like music that touches one's soul with their emotional honesty
and insights, then you would definitely enjoy this album.
Cheers,
Joel
