 > Free to good home with a 78 rpm turntable... It's finally time to let 
them go. I have a small, eclectic collection of 78's inherited from my 
dad, from jazz (Hannah and the Harlem Hamfats) to Sousa marches.


Yes! /Hanna and the Harlem Hamfats/. Best band name ever! Although, 
looking it up, I find simply the Harlem Hamfats (not from Harlem at all 
but from Chicago and New Orleans) and /Frankie Half-Pint Jaxon and the 
Harlem Hamfats/, and possibly a connection to George Hannah, but... Who 
cares? It's the best name.

And here's a tip for whoever gets the records: if your record player 
will only go up to 45 and not 78 rpm, you can still digitize them. Do 
all of them, one right after another, at 45 rpm into a regular wav file, 
resample the file to speed it up to 173 percent (78/45), then cut and 
save and name each song into its own file. Done.


In other news, tonight I'll be doing my show by live remote from the 
particleboard typing table next to the bed at Juanita's place, not from 
the KNYO storefront in Fort Bragg, so if you (the general form of you, 
meaning /you/) want to come in and play your musical instrument(s) or 
talk about your project, or whatever, make that Friday next week when 
I'll be there.*

It's  325 N. Franklin (next to the Tip Top bar). Just waltz in any time 
after 9pm (Friday, next week), head for the lighted room at the back and 
get my attention away from whatever I'm doing, and we'll go from there.

(If you ever write something you want read aloud on the air, email it to 
me any time during the week and I'll do that. The deadline is always 
around 5:30 or 6pm the night of the show. Tonight, for example.)

Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio. Every Friday, 9pm to about 4am on 
107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg, including midnight to 3am 105.1fm KMEC-LP 
Ukiah. And also there and anywhere else via http://knyo.org or 
http://TuneIn.com


* (Or contact Bob Young <bobb at poetworld.net> and get your own regular 
airtime on KNYO, to do a show entirely of own whimsical devising, and 
never need to depend on me at all. Either way, it's easy and fun and 
there's zero pressure.)
