So, on the schedule today is:
11:25 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Henry Gray & the Cats featuring Carol Fran
1:40 - 2:35 p.m. Lil' Buck Senegal Blues Band
2:00 - 3:10 p.m. Rebirth Brass Band with Kermit Ruffins
3:50 - 5:05 p.m. Third World
I'm certainly looking forward to the last two.
Not sure about the first two. Now, how will they
deal with the Lil' Buck and Rebirth being on at
the same time? We'll see.
Interesting tidbit. Someone was searching for
"WWOZ MIssy" and found my blog entry for
yesterday. I wonder who?
Nice to listen to Music From The Glen with Sean
who's still on after all these years. (He's
playing an Indian reggae cut now... Nice.)
12:12 NY time Sean hands it over to Bob and Lisa.
Bob French, oh well. Signal is breaking up.
(Stream is fine.) Some sort of mic problem with
Lisa's mic. I hear some wind but this is in
addition to that. Bob's mic is fine. Why don't
they fix Lisa's mic? Maybe they have now. Yes,
seems better.
12:34 NY time, they go to Henry Grey. Mix seems
ok, Henry's vocals a little low. Level is hotter
than studio feed.
12:58 NY time, Carol's vocals low. Henry's too.
Henry is practically out of the mix. I guess the
engineer is doing something else. Carol's vocals
get better but Henry's are still low.
Bob's station ID is practically inaudible.
Roll Me - Henry's vocals are very low. Does anyone care?
Next song, the same. Engineer is awol.
The mixes are otherwise excellent.
Set over.
Lisa's voice is doubling. Bob's isn't or it isn't noticeable. I wonder why.
...
Lil Buck til 2, then Rebirth then Third World,
then John Mooney and Bluesiana? OK.
"www.org" Hunh?
DJ level is lower than CD. Bob's mic is lower
than Lisa's. Bob isn't being very obnoxious
today. How nice.
Bob: "So the next time", gets repeated 4x... I
thought it was a digital trick but I think it was
him just being senile.
2:45 NY time, Bob's mic is still lower than
Lisa's. Then they go to Lil' Buck. Live feed is
hotter than previous level.
3:13 NY time. They had a promo for Acura between
the last two songs. Now they do one for Drs for
Charity Hospital. Both said they are sponsoring
the hour. Which is it?
And where is Rebirth? They said they would be on at 2 NO time.
Set over. Bob isn't drinking anymore. Does that explain his better nature now?
TR Johnson and Sondra Bibb coming up.
4:07 NY time. New Djs are on. Apparently Sondra
is not meant to be heard since her mic is so low.
When is Rebirth going to be on?
(My computer crashed so I was not listening for
about 10 minutes right around 5 pm.)
5:08 NY time. No sign of Rebirth.
Ah, Third World is on! Good.
96ลก in the Shade!! Love the sirens and barking dog!
They love the sirens too, adding them liberally to the next song too.
... (I go get the mail, so miss some.)
Try Jah Love!
Now That We've Found Love!!
Good, they've done their set and the DJs aren't
barging in to do a station ID. And it's the top
of the hour. Good. Never seen such restraint.
Encore: Here come the sirens again. MLK soundbites! Not much of song though.
OZ DJs kick in eventually. Sondra is VERY low level.
So, what about Rebirth?
Ponderosa Stomp feature again.
Now the schedule says for today "3:15 - 3:55 p.m.
Rebirth Brass Band with Kermit Ruffins" but they
weren't on at all. It also says John Mooney will
be on at 6 NO time, 7 'til 7:55, NY time. OK. I
still don't get what happened to Rebirth.
6:23 NY time. Sondra's level is good now.
Now they play "some highlights" of Rebirth. OK.
We hear the stage MC low level. Hear the band
warming up. Band level is low, averaging -20db
compared to everything earlier. Good mix though.
6:32 NY time, the level is brought up. Good.
...One awful solo by Kermit... (at end of the
tune before the Go Shorty intro of the next tune)
So, if Rebirth is on now, when will John Mooney be on?
Set ends (7:25 NY time)
Right to John Mooney, good.
A good day. Great to hear Third World. Looking
forward to Sonny Landreth, Herlin Riley and
Robert Cray tomorrow.
