Paul’s batch of unreleased R&B from the 50s

*************************

Not much to say that the title bar above or the playlist below doesn’t tell you except that we likely will only get in the first two sets of mine.  We tend to talk a little more when we share the show.  As usual, Paul gives me his playlist in time to be able to include it after mine.  Enjoy.

*************************

I meant to get this out last week but the blog took a lot of time to put together and I just kinda forgot.  I misspoke in my write-up for show #51 of the just-completed study of the British Blues when I said Jim McKee did the sound for the Johnny Almond final concert.  Indeed, Jim informed me he was doing stage duty and not manning the mixing board.  Sorry for the misinformation.

*************************

Since it is still relatively new, I thought I’d mention that KKUP is now streaming on the internet and, while it is still in a developing stage, we have been putting out the word.  I’m not all of that good with high-tech stuff, but it seems pretty easy to access.  If you go to our website at KKUP.org you will see on the home page a strip of options immediately above the pictures of the musicians the next to the last option being LISTEN ONLINE.  By clicking this, it brings up a choice of desktop or mobile.  I can only speak for the desktop but after maybe a minute I was receiving a crystal clear feed.  As already mentioned, this is still a work in progress and we are currently limited to a finite number of listeners at any one time.  I mention this so you will be aware to turn off the application when you are not actually listening.  (I put the player in my favorites bar for the easiest of access.)  Now we can reach our listeners in Los Gatos and Palo Alto, even my family in Canada.  Let your friends elsewhere know they can now listen to your favorite station, and while they have the home page open they can check out our schedule.
