Back in the 80's we had a commercial-free
classical
music
station
out
here in Seattle called KUOW (which sadly has
long
since
switched
to a
nearlly all-talk format).

Back in those days I was still young and
energetic
enough
to
be
able
to
sit up nearly all night working on projects
while
listening to
the
radio. My program of choice was "Music
Through
the
Night"
which
in
the
mid to late 80s featured an announcer whose
deliverly
was
so
understated that he seemed like a phantasm.

I believe the show was produced by Minnesota
Public
Radio
and
may
have
been distributed by American Public Radio or
Public
Radio
International
or something like that. I seem to recall
noticing
that
the
distributor
was not NPR.

Does anyone reading this recall that
program,
and
more
particularly,
the name of the announcer?

Is this the person who would occasionally
insert
weather
forecasts
for
selected portions of the country by saying
something
like
"Prospects
for the central time zone. Snow. In the
northern
plains."
with
a
very
slow delivery (his use of "prospects" was
fairly
frequent
and
rather
distinctive of him)? If so, the name that
comes
to
mind
right
now
is
Arthur Hayne (or Haine). I recall
impersonating
him
once to
get
a
laugh from a colleague who was all too
familiar
with
his
slow
delivery.

You always were a bit slow, Dickless. Butt what
does
that
have
to
do
with ne.weather?

I keep getting email invitations to join some
yahoogroup
about
weather -
nw.weather must be infested with spammers as well
as
trolls.

Ask not for whom the poast trolls, for it trolls for
thee.

Merry Xmas, Bruce.

Xmas is over, Bruce. Its already Boxing Day down
here.

Here too now. A couple of people gave me money, which
I'm
going
to
spend at
the boxing day sales - I want some new CDs.

Luxury! I bet Dickless went out and bought some shellac
78's
so he
could digitise them and take out the pops on his 0S/2.

LOL!

Why are you laughing? I'm sure Dickless will be completely
serious
in
this endevour. I even bet that right now he off scouring the
four
corners of the Earth looking for 78s.

Haven't most of the good 78s been remastered already?

If I ever hear a good Caruso or Melba, I'll let you know.

Thanks, but no thanks. The name is clarinet.fan, not opera.fan.

Do you think you'll find much good, pop-free clarinet music on old
78s?

Unlikely, escepially since I'm not even looking there. Most of the
best
clarinet music was written long after the age of 78s.

Doesn't Woody Allen play the clarinet? Or am I thinking of Bill
K'lintoon?

Allen is the clarinettist.

So what was it K'lintoon played? Was it a sexophone?

LOL! That sounds about right.

And the winner of today's cigar is.....clarinet fan!
