Connection blues & breaks -- My phone cord to the DSL modem has been way toooo long, the tech support people insist, and the cause of sputtery gummy troubles. So a shorter one for the moment has my computer and telephone placed in unlikely spots with cables stretched out east and west across two rooms to jack and outlets, and I'm good 'n likely to trip and break a leg today - an OOF! Moo listener -- and damage the gear before I get a longer ethernet cable later, 'cuz using a long-ass one of those is supposed to be fine.

Geez, appears I've missed a boatload of brilliant blues. :, That makes me a loser thrice per Charlie's Jan. 10th playlist this week. I've now had two opportunities to win Leonard Cohen tix by phone, but wasn't the winning caller either time. [this morning's giveaway is why I'm late here, btw]

Sounds good! Say, did you know this kind of music is now on regular FM in D.C. 24/7? WAMU did something right for a change and put their bluegrass channel on the air (just a translator, but regular FM nonetheless). It ain't no FMU, but it's better than nothing if you're driving with no Internet in D.C.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:31am Matt from Springfield:

I like Ruth Minnikin! And along with this Morrison & West, seems like two fantastic new albums!
And thanks Doug!

Hey Ike!
My Subaru is newer, and has an HD Radio, so I preset the high quality 88.5-2 bluegrass channel. But before I got that car and drove around in my old Nissan, I did find the lower power FM repeater and listened on occasion.

Outside their window you see a sign pointing in the direction they're traveling that reads "Nowhere."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:40am Ike:

@Matt, oh, I thought it was new. Well, that tells you how often I get into D.C. -- not very often. So is the signal range for 88.5-HD2 good? I've heard some HD stations don't reach very far.

Thanks for Brian in Snowland for reminding me to listen to this majestic voice more often...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:59am Matt from Springfield:

Kenzo, kudos on the C64 command screen!

The new system is going great, as well! The only thing to point out, is the sometimes jarring color of registered users names against certain playlist backgrounds. Is there any way for hosts to choose the color of their user name links? Some cases it would need to be a different color than their existing scheme but to blend in better.

Avatar 12:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Matt: Those links are coming up in the link color that is specified in that playlist color combo. So, technically, DJ's can control it, if they realize to do so. (Some DJ's specify ONLY a background color and no link colors, which leads to ambiguous link colors.)
