Spring Rains Radio

Ahhhh, the humidity has finally given way to some gentle rain. It’s such a beautiful spring. My flowers continue to go full tilt in unleashing their color and fragrance.

These beautiful months also mean the start of traveling and busy times that leads to some switching in the show weeks as you may have noticed. I keep a little calendar updated on the Facebook page, but here’s the tentative dates for the show in the next couple months in case you’re interested: June 4th (today!), June 18th, July 9th, and July 23rd.

Come join us and listen to some music 7 to 9 pm, streaming on the web here or on the dial at 88.1/90.7/91.5 FM KZYX&Z.

Rainy cloudy lovely So as you can see above, I was doing some setlist entry into a site called Spintron for station royalty purposes. Thought I’d use the export feature and see how it did – not too bad! I played around with the notes section – it reminds me of what KEXP uses. Maybe they do. It was cool to update in real-time, and if it published in real time too, then whoa, we’d be in like the curent decade with dynamic playslists! Couple little weird things with the entry but nothing big once I practice I’m sure.

So glad to be prepared so I could try to figure this out without also trying to figure out programming Got a couple of nice calls from Ukiah and Redwood Valley. Super muggy here in the studio, and filled with evil mosquitos.
