[Kzyxtalk] Rocket Queen of the Bun Bang Fai.

Rocket Queen of the Bun Bang Fai.

The recording of last night's (2019-02-22) KNYO Fort Bragg and KMEC 
Ukiah world-class Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show 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:

KMEC's getting closer to the $9,000 it needs by the end of this month. 
That money will keep it going through the end of summer. Real community 
radio stations like KMEC and KNYO have all the real expenses and 
responsibilities and technical challenges of the giant bloated smarmy 
NPR stations but /don't and can't/, and wouldn't anyway, get giant 
yearly government grants to remain mediocre and harmless in all ways 
--we can be harmless just fine without that kind of hierarchical 
corporate-control mufflement, thanks very much-- and we don't have the 
advantage of a monopoly on a high-power license where a single 
transmitter can cover hundreds and hundreds of square miles of potential 
donors. Radio is cheap, so it’s possible to do it on the cheap. But it’s 
not free. Every penny you give to a station like KNYO or KMEC goes to 
pay for something we really need to pay for: rent on a storefront 
performance space and studios, electricity, water, internet and phones, 
streaming fees, maintenance and equipment, and so on. /None/ of it goes 
into the pocket of the bosses in the office. Please help. Maybe when you 
get your tax return, if you don't absolutely need to spend it all on a 
new back tire or those fine gingham curtains you've had your eye on.

To donate to KMEC: Simply call 707-234-3236 and state your intent. Or go 
to KMECradio.org/donate. Or mail a check to KMEC, 106 W. Standley, 
Ukiah. Or just walk in; the Mendocino Environment Center (MEC), home of 
KMEC, is across the street to the north from the Ukiah courthouse. 
Standard membership for KMEC is $40, but nobody is going to quibble if 
you can't make it exact. You are a divine individual, and you are very 
loved; I hope you know that.

To donate to KNYO, the Little Lion in Fort Bragg: You can go to KNYO.org 
and click on the big crimson Donate button. And if that's too 
technological for you or it doesn't work, mail a check to KNYO, p.o. box 
1651, Fort Bragg 95437. If you'd like to underwrite a specific show, or 
you'd like your own show to play with, where nobody's breathing down 
your neck and they just turn you loose to do radio, contact Bob Young: 
bobb at poetworld.net

Besides that, also 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:

Tender Owls. (In Russian with English subtitles.) "I am hanging on a 
rope, swinging and kicking. I really would like a little more air. 
Suddenly from behind me comes the tender chirping of the owl: /Oui! Oui!/")
