Thanks for the radio suggestions!

Thanks for taking the time to make those suggestions jebbypal and Anonymous. The ideas were good one and the time you took to send 'em my way much appreciated. I feel much less as if I've taken a sucker bet now.

Win or no. This week is about Jayne and Adam Baldwin. I'll be putting together what we used to call a splice-o-rama in the old days of magnetic tape.

Can't believe how we used to record or dub our sound samples to reel-to-reel tape, cut and reassemble it into a finished piece. Took hours just to lay the sounds onto tape. And there was always this awful sense of finality when you took razor blade to that tape. Not to mention the generational noise and distortion on the finished piece.

It's still something of a chore getting the audio off DVDs and such, but we can edit with mouse clicks now, and Peak allows us virtually unlimited undos.

But it'll still be a long Tuesday night if this is to air on Wednesday noon. Even the best idea is still at the mercy of its presentation. And this one was a whim.
