YOWZAH! Series Premiere now online at a-infos
HERE is my aircheck for last Wednesday. I'm adding all four segments of the program in 128k mp3 format. There's no theme, since I'm just getting used to the studio and its quirks. I think I'll hold off from uploading this one to Live365.

"Rats!" June 29, 2007
(Week 82)
This is the RADIOLA! theme that, in a fit of pique, I promised to do last week. Well, I'm in a much better frame of mind this week. The music might be nasty, but I expect the commentary will be all sweetness and light--that is, unless something intrudes upon my serenity before airtime. Tune in tonight at 8 PM EDT to WHCL to see if I've managed to retain my composure.

SENDSPACE DELETES FILES!
My apologies to anyone attempting to download 2005 RADIOLA! programs through the sendspace links on the playlists. Apparently, if the files are "inactive" (not downloaded over a seven-day period), the programs are deleted. So much for sendspace. Phooey.
I'll upload the early shows to A-INFOS RADIO, which is better by far. Give them some money. They're wonderful.

The Boy Who Cried "Shoutcast"
Dear frustrated RADIOLA! streamers/on-air listeners,
I doubly apologize for yesterday's RADIOLA! non-show. Not only was the Shoutcast stream malfunctioning (so that anyone who may have tried to stream would have heard dead air), but when I got to the studio some genius had flipped the master switch to the CD and minidisc players and so I vamped until I could download one of my old programs from the internet to play on the air. The computer audio was fine, of course. (RADIOLA! is a very resourceful radio program.)
In my two years at WHCL, I never had occasion to use the master switch--and nobody thought it important enough to tell me where it was. (As in, "If you come to the station and all the CD and minidisc players are off, this switch up here restores power to them.")
Finally, I pressed the right button and everything lit up. So, I jettisoned the old show from January 2006 and instead played selections from some "extra" CDs I brought with me. (Jimmie Noone and Fats Waller JSP box sets, Paul Whiteman, Ted Weems, The Sunshine Boys, and Al Gallodoro.) It wasn't a bad show for an impromptu effort, but I really wasn't about to truncate the playlist that it had taken me two days to transfer from 78s and put together. (I was working on the show until almost the last minute so I had no opportunity to post the playlist here.) I will play that in its entirety next Friday at 8 PM ET.
I'm not going to promise anything ever again about the WHCL Shoutcast stream unless I know it's up and running and playing actual music. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience.
Andy

AL GALLODORO'S 94th BIRTHDAY AT THE SEGO CAFE!
SAT JUNE 23, 8PMAL GALLODORO QUARTET with piano accompanist JoAnn Chmielowski, Larry Trott on Bass, and Lou Colone on drums
SEGO CAFE, Main St, Oneonta, New York. Reservations 607-432-0228
Dr. Alfred J. Gallodoro (born June 20, 1913) will celebrate his 94th birthday with a magical performance at SEGO CAFE. Gallodoro is one of only 13 artists who recorded before 1940 that is still active and recording, During a professional career spanning an amazing nine decades, Gallodoro has played his saxophone, clarinet and bass clarinet in all forms and venues of music - - - from Vaudeville houses to New Orleans speak-easies, from nightclubs to symphonies, from Carnegie Hall to international jazz festivals (North Sea and Breda, Holland!) and even the Ringling Brothers Circus! Gallodoro was called upon in April 2006 to perform George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the NYC Harmonie Ensemble, a piece for which he holds the distinction of a world’s record - - over 10,000 performances throughout the 1930’s and 40’s with the “King of Jazz” Paul Whiteman. In his association of nearly 4 decades with Whiteman, Gallodoro played lead 1st alto sax, as well as clarinet and bass clarinet for the orchestra; hence, the moniker “Triple Threat!” He was a regularly featured “front stage” soloist on live broadcasts spanning from the 1930’s through the 1970’s, and even continues those live radio performances today with regular appearances on Northeast Public Radio! In fact, Gallodoro has done more live on-the-air saxophone and clarinet solos than any other performer in history.
Also a classical performer in his own right, Gallodoro worked for many years under symphonic conductors Arturo Toscanini and Leopold Stokowski. Thus, one can often detect a classical vein running throughout his art of improvisation. Ferde Grofé was so impressed by Gallodoro’s art that he composed Gallodoro’s Serenade for saxophone and piano (1957) to specifically emphasize Al’s style, and showcase his technique. The piece (released on Bridge Records, 2006) had its premier New York City performance and recording when Al was an energetic 91 years old, with pianist Lincoln Mayorga. Perhaps it is his unique ability to bridge jazz and classical idioms that so endears him to a broad variety of fans.
AL GALLODORO was featured in 2002 on CBS’ Sunday Morning, and has also been the topic of a PBS documentary, the Al Gallodoro Story. In 2005 Alfred J. Gallodoro received an Honorary Doctoral Degree from Hartwick College in recognition of a lifetime of extraordinary achievement in music performance and teaching. His admirers include more than just saxophone aficionados - - -- he recently appeared twice at Cornell University's Weill Medical College for concerts AND as the subject of an extensive interview on longevity and vitality. At 94 years young, Gallodoro continues to thrill his listeners with his impeccable musicianship and incredible mastery of his instruments. He can arguably be regarded as the greatest saxophone/clarinet virtuoso in history.
As partner with manager/pianist and long term collaborator JoAnn Bertone Chmielowski, Gallodoro’s independent label Chmusic Productions/Golden Rooster Records has added 4 CD’s and a music video to his credit. His most recent release DAYBREAK – Lyrical Jazz (April 2007), has a specific goal: to bring a renewed awareness of the lyrical sound of the saxophone to mainstream jazz. With a bit of Southern flair, credited to his Birmingham and New Orleans roots, the Mediterranean influence of his Sicilian heritage, and the sounds attributed to nearly six decades of working in New York City, Dr. Alfred J. Gallodoro (born June 20, 1913) is still absolutely inimitable!
JoAnn Bertone Chmielowski, keyboard/synthesizer. With roots in classical piano, and currently a jazz pianist for the Al Gallodoro Quartet, JoAnn combines her musical creativity with harmonies that compliment Al's unique art of improvisation. Her performance venues include West Kortright Center, Saratoga's Caffe Lena, and the Night Eagle, as well as clubs in Albany and the NYC area.

"Anything Goes" June 8, 2007
(Week 80)
The Summer Season is officially under way at WHCL--and tonight's playlist reflects an undercurrent of references to local (to the Utica, NY area) current events. Our mad old mayor, Ed Hanna, who left under a cloud in 2000, has decided to regain his post. That's all you need to know, unless you want to go off on a Google quest. Plenty of good music here, and my aircheck will be posted forthwith.
Oh, and it's the start of my third year on the air. If only the stream were working! Well, if you live in the area, tune us in at 88.7 FM. Otherwise, Live 365 will work as well as anything for the time being.

RIAA GHOULS AT IT AGAIN
As yet unsuccessful in their attempt to shake down internet broadcasters, the RIAA is now trying to pry nickels and dimes from the pockets of public radio in an unprecedented grab for royalties. You have to suppose that extends beyond corporate NPR outlets to college and community stations, like WHCL.
Since popular music is now creatively defunct, and cannibalizes an ever-diminishing few riffs and ideas, the RIAA ghouls return to suck the marrow of the bones of the brilliant dead.

RADIOLA! RETURNS FRIDAY JUNE 8 ON WHCL 88.7 FM
To the consternation of those who may have tried to stream or tune in at 8 PM EDT the past two Fridays, there has been a hiatus. The good news is that RADIOLA! will return to the WHCL-FM next Friday, June 8, at 8 PM EDT for a summer season of weekly two-hour programs. The (possibly) bad news is that direct streaming of WHCL may not be available owing to problems with the Shoutcast Computer. The (genuinely) good news is that each Friday's program will be uploaded to my Live365 station within a day or two of the live broadcast.
I'll keep you apprised of the Shoutcast situation. It's no more than a minor concern. If you're listening locally to 88.7 FM, it helps to have a GOOD radio and maybe an external antenna. For some reason, sets made before the mid-90s tend to get better reception of weak stations. So dig out that old relic from the attic, plug 'er in, and wait for the electrician. Happy listening!

"Bad English" May 18, 2007
(Week 79)
UPDATE: This program has now been uploaded to my Live365 station. Owing to interference on my home recording, I have inserted clean soundfiles but have retained my original broadcast commentary (during which there is some noise). Also, I omitted the Waring selection from my Live365 file because I did not realize how truly offensive the lyrics were until I played the recording on air. (The humor of that bygone day was not always gentle.) Also, if I'm going to offend somebody, I want it to be for a good reason. (“A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.” -- Oscar Wilde)
The songs you are about to hear are standards--only the language is substandard. (For those who are unduly offended by poor usage, I've included a fine classical piece near the end of the program--really! It's a bit of a misnomer, though, since the Danube is actually green.) The Queen's English gets it in the neck at 8 PM EDT on WHCL.

UPDATE: This program has now been uploaded to my Live365 station. Owing to interference on my home recording, I have inserted clean soundfiles but have retained my original broadcast commentary (during which there is some noise). Also, I omitted the Waring selection from my Live365 file because I did not realize how truly offensive the lyrics were until I played the recording on air. (The humor of that bygone day was not always gentle.) Also, if I'm going to offend somebody, I want it to be for a good reason. (“A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.” -- Oscar Wilde)
The songs you are about to hear are standards--only the language is substandard. (For those who are unduly offended by poor usage, I've included a fine classical piece near the end of the program--really! It's a bit of a misnomer, though, since the Danube is actually green.) The Queen's English gets it in the neck at 8 PM EDT on WHCL.

H.R. 2060--CONGRESS TO THE RESCUE?
Congress is introducing 11th-hour legislation to give relief to internet broadcasters, H.R. 2060. Here's the lowdown from savenetradio.org:
The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on May 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. Internet radio needs your help! H.R. 2060, The Internet Radio Equality Act was introduced by Representatives Jay Inslee (D-WA) and Donald Manzullo (R-IL ) to save the Internet radio industry.
Please call your member of Congress and urge that he or she co-sponsor the above legislation. The survival of RADIOLA! and all your other favorite net streams depend upon it.
