The recording of last night's Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 
KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KMEC-LP Ukiah is available by one or two clicks, 
depending on whether you want to listen to it now or download it and 
keep it for later and, speaking of which, it's right here:

Holly Tannen, ladies and gentlemen, first 40 minutes of the show. 
Eleanor Cooney didn't make it; she says next week for sure. Things 
pretty much ran to plan otherwise, unusually to plan, you might think, 
if you were of a suspicious nature or had one, nature /or/ plan. Also 
Jerry gave me a recording to play of Bob Boler reciting holiday Dylan 
Thomas in that lower-register pipe organ voice he had. I'll never forget 
his part in MTC's /Curse of the Starving Class/ where his character, a 
generally deadbeat absent father, drunkenly corrects the inflection of 
his little girl's angry swear delivery. He could /sing/ too, that guy.

I'd like to slip in a plug for Gloriana Opera Company's /Snow Queen/. 
This is the last weekend for it. Eagles Hall, corner of Alder and Corry, 
Fort Bragg, 7:30 tonight, 3pm Sunday and that's it, so now's your chance.

Anyway, at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you can find a fresh batch 
of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but nonetheless 
worthwhile educational items I set aside for you while gathering the 
show together. Such as:

A clever way of smoothing delivery of erratic power.

And two-thirds of a full Janko, the smarter music keyboard that never 
caught on, thanks to corrupt Big Piano.
