[Dixielandjazz] So who's this Jim Cullum...?

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Thanks Dave:

  I'll try to hook into it, I don't usually deal with radio stations on 
my computer, mainly because I spend most of the day and night these 
days working on it booking and promoting for shows and events, and am 
not particularly savvy about computer use in many areas, I subscribed 
to Pandora radio but rarely get it together to go there and sing on and 
listen.

  I like the mixture of eclectic music that ya'll play on KFJC, which is 
what attracted me to the station long ago when I could actually get a 
signal. While I love OKOm I also appreciate and like a lot of other 
music much to the shigrin of some of our list mates who fine it 
sacrilegious :))

 Cheers, and Happy Holidays

 Tom

 Tom,

 Sorry about the lack of radio signal over the East Bay hills, but
 KFJC.org has been doing Internet "broadcast" since the technology was
 made available. We ran a Dixie-Cup & a String to a site in the UK
 that was then sent out to the world. Now we have several levels of
 connection speed (from dial-up to high speed) and listeners all over
 the world.

 I think the reason KFJC works well at getting OKOM out to "the youth"
 is that besides speciality shows like mine, the "regular" DJs have an
 amazing amount of freedom to choose music from our truly vast
 library. Eclectic is what the station is all about - you are probably
 not going to like everything (some of it is deliberately horrible
 noise!) but mixed in there are outstanding pieces of music from all
 over the world. Our audience has come to enjoy that mix - it is what
 attracted me to the station as a listener back in 1978.

 The DJs are trained to back-announce everything and playlists are
 available on the website. Many of the DJs have particular musical
 interests that lead to special features or programs. We are not NPR -
 everything is programmed by our own staff.

 I have stopped doing my regular show for several reasons, but I am
 now part of a show called "Jazz Collectif" on Tuesdays 10AM to 2PM
 PST - a group of DJs that explore various kinds of jazz - old and
 new, and everything in between.
