The Saxon Files, my new radio show

*Cough* Sarah Dinan *Cough*

Done.

Rani, I was thinking about that. That's the toughest thing about this whole process. The school isn't supplying any music, we are. Lord knows I've spent about $300 this past month on iTunes between the two shows. I thought of doing like you asked but figured I should wait until it's actually up and running before I attempt to solicit anyone for music.

Well, you can at least start drafting the message you will use, and assembling all the contact info, while you wait!  Nothing like a little proactive activity to keep your enthusiasm up... not that you need any extra, of course...

It may be interesting to see with how many show slots I end up with. We've already lost one or two DJs via apathy. It sounds good to them, but only a few of us have actually put in any time towards our show. Hell out of everyone I think the only DJs who know exactly what they're doing and what their show is are the people who helped get this off the ground and myself. So as more fall by the wayside I may end up with more time, which I can never have enough of lol

As long as it doesn't cut into Faire time!!!

As long as it doesn't cut into Faire time!!! 

It cuts into any possibly camping on Friday time but as of now that's it.

[Rani Zemirah]

Just come out on Thursday and set your camp, then you can just drive on out Friday night after the show and everything will be ready...

Or broadcast from the faire......Brilliant!

[JackGonzo, MD]

Or broadcast from the faire......Brilliant!

If only it were possible...if only. Student funded radio stations don't get all the fancy contraptions as others...HOWEVER...I just MIGHT be able to snag something to do interviews at faire. Now THAT will be interesting...hehehe

[Rani Zemirah]

Oh!  Play some Blind Guardian, please!!! 

[JackGonzo, MD]

Oh!  Play some Blind Guardian, please!!! 

I do have the Wheel of Time song that will be played if not before definitely the week the new book comes out.

UPDATE-We're still waiting on some equipment and network related issues to be resolved. I believe we are still on target for the first week of school, if not sooner.

UPDATE 2-So I may have convinced the powers that be at the station to allow me to have an "event". September 19th as we all know is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. If we get the equipment to broadcast outside the studio then I may be having a special show that day either on campus or in the campus pub. I of course will be in full regalia but I was curious if any here would be interested in joining me...especially if it's in the pub lol

[Rani Zemirah]

Wait... you have a PUB... on campus?!?   


I wanna go to your school!!!

In 1971, the school I was attending—a Catholic college in Memphis—they opened a bar & grill in the student center. It made a difference that legal drinking age in Tennessee at the time was 18. They only served beer, but still, it was pretty nice since my dorm room was maybe 75 yards from the student center.

It may have been covered in another portion of this thread(I have not read the whole thing) but how about some gypsy music.  I lady named Mariah attended TNRF  some time back and she was fantastic on the violin.  I have a tape of hers that I play constantly.  Also Labirynthe is another group out of Nashville Tn.

UPDATE TIME

So we've been delayed and delayed and delayed all August long. Apparently someone at school has been dragging their feet and the Producers finally got to talk to the administration this morning and got it worked out. So I believe we are going live this weekend/next Monday, but our software to play mp3s has not arrived and won't for a few weeks. So until then we have to do it "old school" and use CDs.

What this means.

Any requests you need to make before Fridays so it is on the CD. We're doing pre-made set lists until we finally get this software issue resolved. Luckily I foresaw this and have been ready to go for over a week now. This first show is going to present the various styles of music that I will be playing. In the future what is requested is what will be played...hint hint you want more ren faire music request more ren faire music lol. Thanks for your time everyone
