(Week 105)
UPDATE: After the New Year's Eve Special I'm including a repeat of a RADIOLA! from January 13, 2006--"Say Si Si"--so that listeners on the West Coast can shake a leg, also.
I've assembled a program for New Year's Eve this year even though WHCL is still on break. I'll upload it to my Live365 station tonight (Dec. 31), and I'll restart the broadcast shortly before 11 PM Eastern Time (10 PM Central). This will throw off anyone already streaming, so please re-connect to hear the show. The special will last three hours, so those in the Central Time Zone can celebrate, too.

THIS IS SO SAD
12/27/2007 UPDATE: ELECTRIC COMPANY ANNOUNCES CONCERT TO BENEFIT ELWOOD'S
Dec 27, 2007 @ 04:24 PM
By JESSICA RYEN DOYLE
Observer-Dispatch
UTICA - A benefit concert for Elwood’s Coffeehouse & Roadshow will take place Sunday, Jan. 13 at The Electric Company, Varick Street.
Elwood’s is being torn down Friday after it suffered severe damage in a fire that began next-door at 612 Columbia St. and killed 22-year-old Brittany Platt.
Anthony “Zee” Donaldson, owner of nearby The Electric Company, said he wanted to do what he could to help Elwood’s owner Dan Olah rebuild.
Olah and his girlfriend/business partner also lived upstairs from the coffeehouse.
The concert’s lineup includes Choke Slam, Paul Fullem, Joe Sweet and Jeremy Petrie.
Tickets are a $5 donation, which will go directly to the Elwood’s fund, Donaldson said.
UPDATE: Elwood's will be torn down. The damage was too extensive to the structure, and Dan Olah and Cathy DiCastro are in the process of salvaging what they can from the building. Dan and Cathy lived upstairs, and lost everything in the fire. You can help by contacting the Red Cross in Utica at THIS link, or see the comment section of this post for other options.
Elwood's Coffee House, a wonderful restaurant, cafe, and music venue, burned last night. Even more sadly, there was loss of life in the apartment building next door where the fire started. Elwood's was extensively damaged, and may have to be torn down.
My wife and I ate there numerous times, and found the food and atmosphere delightful. Our thoughts go out to the owners, Dan and Cathy. We loved Elwood's and appreciate all that it contributed to our city. We hope that they will reopen.

"Now's the time to give your share . . ."
Yesterday, I received a copy of the original 1929 sheet music to my RADIOLA! theme, "Wake Up! Chill'un, Wake Up!" stated as having lyrics by Jo Trent and music by Willard Robison. What is remarkable is that on the Ipana Troubadors recording (Columbia 1779-D) I use as the theme, Willard Robison himself sings, "Love is in power/Now's the time to give your share," while in the printed sheet music and on every other recording of the tune, the lyric is "Now's the time to get your share."
I have to assume that the composition of the song was somewhat more collaborative than otherwise indicated, and that Robison preferred the more "giving" version. Perhaps the change came after the song was published, and it could not be amended. It's a deeply philosophical song, with amazing imagery and a timeless message. Changing the more selfish "get" to the more emotionally mature "give" is a logical--and vast--improvement. (After all, in order to get love you have to give love--which some of my friends in their 40s are still figuring out.)
Robison's change makes the song nearly perfect. I'd have to consider his reading of the lyric to be the definitive version, supplanting even the published version. And it's certainly something to consider in this season of giving.

THE BIGGEST MUSIC BARGAIN IN AMERICA
A couple of years ago I bought Glen Richards' mp3 CD of Hot Dance and Jazz selections. Since then, he has added many more recordings to his archive, and you can buy something like 600 hot dance sides on three CD-ROMs for $60. (Or buy the CDs individually for $20 apiece.) These discs play in your computer and on mp3-CD players, and you can make CDs of the soundfiles to play on your home stereo or in the car. A deal like this defines the word "bargain." Glen has unearthed some very rare and delightful recordings indeed, and has painstakingly restored them. Here's his newsletter:
Hi everyone!
Just a quick note to let you know that the Archive MP3 CD-ROMs and Audio CDs are now available. The Archive MP3 CD-ROMs consist of 3 CD-ROMs with the MP3 files that were released in 2002-2004, 2005-2006 and all the MP3s released in 2007 (including those that haven't appeared yet on the site for the December release). Each disk is packed in a paper sleeve and is $20US, plus shipping to anywhere in the world.
The Audio CDs consist of 7 volumes, each containing recordings released in 2007, in the Audio CD format (just like you'd purchase in a record store). Each Audio CD is packed in a jewel case with a four-page booklet, and is $14US, plus shipping to anywhere in the world.
I'm selling the disks through CafePress.com, and you can reach the sales page from my site or you can click on this link.
Also, I've added scans of four issues of "The Metronome" magazine from 1926 in the Vintage Images section of the website - there are lots of neat ads, photos and tidbits of information scattered throughout (especially a mention of the Jean Goldkette band playing at the Roseland Ballroom). Be sure to check it out.
I've also added some content to the discussion forums under "Glen's Rant and Raves" - a look back at what's happened over the last year.
Finally, I'll be posting new tunes to the site about December 15th - I may do it sooner, if I can. I'll let everyone know as soon as they're posted!
Thanks!
Glen

"ROCKIN' CHAIR" FROM MY OCT. 17 GIG
I usually don't push my own music on the program, but I kind of like how this recording turned out. Left-click HERE, and you can either download it or play it with your default media player. (Assuming the link works.) The ambient sound of the cappuccino machine adds that little extra something to the performance.

WHITHER A-INFOS?
I've made several unsuccessful attempts to log in to the A-Infos Radio Project where I have about two years of programs archived. Does anyone know what happened to this site?
UPDATE: It came up a minute ago--and then was elusive again. It's like freaking Brigadoon. But at least it's out there--with all my old shows--somewhere.
UPDATE 2 (12/8/2007): It seems to be there more reliably now, and I've just uploaded two more RADIOLA! shows.
