[Dixielandjazz] Radio Station seeks CDs.

[Don Robertson]

The only problem with sending CD's to Radio OKOM is that we probably 
won't hear them for a year or so. Given their available resources and 
personnel, the material (that is comments and discussions) generally are 
those recorded in 2002-2005.  With the music they play, this is 
irrelevant unless they mention a specific event, concert or gig which 
may have taken place several years ago.  They apparently don't have the 
time or people (all volunteer) to do all the technical things needed to 
prepare more contemporary broadcast material.  It's sometimes 
frustrating when you hear something discussed that you could contribute 
more information or would like to comment on, then realize the 
discussion took place two or more years ago.  Otherwise it's a great 
resource, and I listen almost every day.  I wish I could figure out how 
to get it in my car.  I guess I could if I had a fancy cell 
phone/portable computer set up.    Maybe an iPhone would do it.
