Holidays, webcasts, and so on

[Tom & Cheryl Roche]

Mister Ken G mentioned  in passing his recent holiday in (unstated 
regions) of the USA. I do hope he was not in the Atlanta area and 
missed out on the chance to buy him a beer and/or some BBQ. And that 
goes for - as some folk say here - "all ya'll" on the list. If you 
are passing through here do look me up.

I can't say Atlanta can offer the same historic perspective that a 
tour of Britain might - hey we have a bar here that has been open 
since 1939! That passes for longevity here. A friend from Swansea who 
visited the US for the first time said Atlanta "looked like a movie 
set." Well so be it. If we go to any pubs newer than 1939 I yell 
"Action" and "Cut!" a lot.

Speaking of Atlanta, which we conveniently now are, we have a one of 
a kind radio station here you might want to explore. And no it is not 
a nerdy "college station" playing art-damaged noise. It is an AM (MW 
to you) station owned buy a wealthy baking executive who, instead of 
retiring, bought a radio station to just sort of play around. It is 
is his only broadcast property - an anomaly in these chain ownership 
days - and he has hired a good staff to play mostly what they want, 
and the station has amassed a huge music library. If they focus on 
anything it might be US southern regional blues and soul, but there 
is plenty of everything else old, way old, new and way new.

Specifically may I direct you to a weekly show later today from 4-6PM 
eastern US time which I guess would be 9PM UK time. The Stomp And 
Stammer radio hour(s) is hosted by Jeff Clark and named after the 
magazine he publishes -- and I write for sometimes. He is John Peel 
affectionado and sort of patterns his programs the way John would 
have done.
