Charlie recently discovered a terrific web site for those
who are looking for good music. It's called Remember When
Public Radio, and it features the great standards and the big
bands. It is operated from Florida by the very knowledgeable
broadcaster Greg Sherlock. While you listen to the music,
be sure to explore the many nooks and crannies of the site.
You'll discover many interesting links to other related
sites. You will be glad you investigated this site! Here is a
link to make it easy. www.rwpr.net.
Another site for good music is
www.kzqx.com, from
Texas.
To enjoy the best New Orleans type traditional jazz band
operating currently, visit the Jim Cullum Jazz Band at www.riverwalkjazz.org/.
Charlie loves to collect and listen to the old network radio shows
from the 30's into the 50's. Two of his favorite web
sites from which to acquire these shows, in the form of mp3 files
on CD roms, are OTRCAT, and Bobby's OTR
. (OTR = old time radio). From mysteries to
westerns to musicals to adventure, it's all here. These are
really fun. An equally attractive site for OTR lovers is RUSC
(R U Sitting Comfortably). This
site, run very ably by Ned Norris, allows you to listen at your
convenience to shows you select, or to download them quickly to
your hard drive. If you want, you can then create your custom CD
roms. 50 hours on a disc is common. There is a small subscription
fee (well worth it). Charlie has been a member for years.
Boulder City, NV, where Charlie lives, is a small town, but it
has more than its share of artists. Take a minute to visit
this site; Boulder City
Arts Council. Also please
browse the Boulder City
web site. Follow all the links and discover
BC's interesting history.
