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.

A KEEPER OF THE FLAME
"I like music by dead people," says Nellie McKay on today's edition of Fresh Air. By combining trenchant lyrics with 1920s- and 1930s-style tunes, as well as preforming standards with a high degree of musicianship, Nellie is keeping the music vital and in the public sphere. HERE is her website.

Owing to the advent of Hockey season and the break for Thanksgiving, RADIOLA! will not be broadcast for at least the next two Fridays on WHCL.
UPDATE: I'm uploading some 2005 programs to my live 365 site to add a bit of variety to the proceedings during hiatus.

In honor of our area's first-ever hosepipe ban, I musically implore the Rainmaker to fill our reservoir. (We'd been diverting the drinking water all summer into the canal for the delectation of the recreational boaters, and our dessicated chickens are coming home to roost.)

PIANO JAZZ AT CAFE DOMENICO IN UTICA OCT. 3
I'm scheduled to play piano at Cafe Domenico, 2011 Genesee St, Utica, NY (phone 315-798-8077) on Wednesday, October 3, at 7 PM. Domenico's is directly across from the Uptown Theatre. You'll hear pop standards played in stride and swing, with a respectful nod to Waller and Tatum.
And yes, this is my first engagement in about five years--I'm back!

RECEPTION TIPS FOR WHCL
WKHR, a radio station in Ohio, has posted these reception tips. WHCL is another notoriously weak station, and these suggestions work just as well here--better, perhaps, since WHCL does not broadcast in stereo. (In essence--buy a good radio, run up an aerial, and keep that switch on "mono.")
(WKHR also hosts a vintage music program that is well worth checking out--Monday nights at 6 PM ET.)
