The recording of last night's (2017-03-03) slightly longer and maybe 
even a little bit better than usual KNYO (and, three hours in, also 
KMEC) Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show is ready to download for 
free and enjoy, via http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com

Juanita had one of her projects lined up for early this morning so she 
had to be asleep by the time I started the show, so you hear me talking 
very quietly throughout with the mic gain turned up quite a bit. You 
hear in the background: the refrigerator clicking on and off, sirens 
pulling people over down on the street, toilets flushing elsewhere in 
the apartment block, the pet bird startling at a shadow on the blinds, 
Juanita softly snoring and every once in awhile waking up cold and using 
the hot air blower hose under the blankets (my portable radio studio is 
on a typing table next to the bed). Also, when I do the show from 
Juanita's house I'm in my socks, pajamas, t-shirt, knitted hat and 
dollar-store glasses, reading a stack of paper propped on a little wire 
easel under a swing-arm light. That's radio.

You can do that too, you know, or something entirely different. There's 
airtime available for you on KNYO. Contact Bob Young bobb at poetworld.net 
and say you want to do radio, and that's really all it takes, because 
this is still America. There's even a performance space at the station 
if you want to do a live radio show of your weekly band practice or 
poetry reading or public meeting or candle-lit cult ritual (always be 
careful of fire); 1. think how cool it would be, 2. fondle the idea with 
the fingers of your imagination, and 3. contact Bob. Why wait?

Anyway, besides all that, at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll 
find thousands of links to not necessarily radio-useful but certainly 
worthwhile items of kit to enrich your internal wunderkammer, such as:

Good habits and color-saturated body parts.

Symmetry.

And this one-man band playing /Black Dog/ with moxie and panache (fine 
names for a black cockadoodle and a feathery soft golden-brown 
long-haired mop dachshund with one gray ear).

Oh, not about KNYO or KMEC: there's a board meeting of MCPB (KZYX) at 
the Fort Bragg Senior Center, 490 N. Harold St, this coming Monday night 
at 6pm. I'm just so pissed off in specific at how they've treated me and 
my ilk down through the years, and in general at how they have lied and 
lied and lied some more and they just keep fricking getting away with 
it, but I'm going for the physical exercise of trying to contain myself, 
and for the free pimientos wrapped in prosciutto with a toothpick 
through them. I understand relentless-gadfly-to-crooked-nonprofits Scott 
Peterson will attend to give the trustees a flip-chart presentation 
deconstructing their most recent sloppy-on-purpose bookkeeping 
chicanery; something to do with the, ahem, /misplacing/ of a 
CPB-grant-threatening sum of moolah. It's not poignant superheroes and 
alien helicopter chases but it should be entertaining, and it's at least 
/pretend/ democracy. See y'all there.
