[Kzyxtalk] Whistling in Japanese.

Whistling in Japanese.

/"You can’t fix democracy by turning it off and on again." -Phil Foglio/

The recording of last night's (2019-10-18) 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:

The Gloriana Opera Company /Really Rosie/ producer and director and a
couple of stars showed up to talk about theater in general and their
/Really Rosie/ show in particular. A brief appearance by amazing but
shy-when-offstage Sandy Glickfeld to drop off a tape of a show she and Jack
Leung, among others, did in 1988. Ken, who five years ago simplified and
robusticated KNYO's electronic plant, was in town so he sat down to reveal
some subtle intricacies of the Ghost Ship disaster you might have heard
about in the news. Alex Bosworth called, and for a change, and for a
wonder, we set a reasonable time limit on our conversation and stuck to it.
It might have been the subject matter: Dean Martin's execrable Matt Helm
movies. /Two/ poetry sections in the show, one early, one late. And all of
it with my lower back giving me the kind of trouble nobody can help with,
though there are plenty of gurus and practitioners around who will take
your money to pretend to, pain that you know will go away soon by itself
like it always does, but in the moment, wincing makes you warble somewhat,
and pause once in awhile, and say, /Oh, goddammit, ow. Jeez./ All things
considered, a busy and edutaining and not too torturous adventure,
accompanied by genuine Japanese honking bluesmasters and 1940s big-hat
cowboys whistling for their supper. It's the next day now and the back is a
lot better, thank you, except I just got a twinge when I carried all the
video equipment to the car in one basket like an idiot, so, tch.

Besides all that, 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:

The Scottish backward blancmange.

Ze Frank presents the sand bubbler crab.

And literally superhuman fiddle skills.
