"Take off your hat, sir, Betsy Ross' flag is passing. Do you see it on
the bridge at Waterloo 'neath the great triumphal arch? If you see an
eagle trampling through the grapes of wrath, stand up and march, march,
march!" -Jerry Herman
The recording of last night's (2016-09-16) 107.7fm KNYO (and 105.1 KMEC)
Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show is available to download and
listen to via http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com
Live remote from Juanita's apartment this time so, as usual when that's
the case, at the beginning I'm talking in a normal,
Norman-Rockwell-lunch-counter-appropriate tone of voice and gradually,
over the course of almost seven hours, I lean closer, ever closer to the
microphone's foam rubber clown nose and speak quieter and more
carefully, though equally loudly via machine because of the volume knob,
until near the end I'm whispering insistently directly into the center
of your head, improving every facet of your being with vital information
/they/ don't want you to know, rather /insinuating/ past their and your
stodgy defenses to lubricate the very heart of humanity's vital levers
and wires and spiritual plumbing. No side effects. No hangover. You're
welcome.
Before the show I almost always play a little something to make sure
everything's getting all the way from wherever I am to the transmitter,
and this time it was a brilliant though slightly crunchy-sounding
twenty-minute essay on intellectual freedom (by ThereminTrees, titled
/Punishing Doubt/). Twenty minutes well spent. Also, the Boston Blackie
episode at the very end of the night is a gem.
Also at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find literally
thousands of links to not necessarily radio-useful but worthwhile things
to see and do and learn about, such as:
Current weather information: wind speed and direction, temperature,
pressure, clouds, rain amounts, snow cover, everything, for everywhere
on Earth, all visualized in color and motion. An animated graph that
lets you choose the parts of the information you want to see.

The world's weather beauty competition. Dang, look at the mammatus
clouds on /that/ one.

The Marvel Symphonic Universe. (14 min.) (Explains what's right and
what's wrong with movie music.)

And a world-class Rickroll. Singer Gunhild Carling solos on trumpet,
then soprano recorder, then trombone, then /bagpipes/, then trumpet again!
