Here's the recording of last night's (Friday 2023-12-01) eight-hour-long 
Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg 
(CA) and KNYO.org:

I'm happy to read your writing on the radio. Just email it to me and 
that's all you have to do.

This show has an expanded obit section (Henry Kissinger's appears an 
hour after that, followed by instructions for permanently magically 
sealing away an ancient horrendous evil). Various local pleas for 
medical money, please. Announcements of this and that service or item or 
opportunity. A steamy, sweaty chapter of Eleanor Cooney's next book. 
Further of Kent Wallace's latest book /The Blind Steal/. Sebastian 
Iturralde. R.D. Beacon's Markov-chain-like, 
Last-Words-Of-Dutch-Schultz-like discourse against furriners from the 
Big City who can leave his bar right now and don't let the door hit 
their ass on the way out. Louise Mariana with a nurse's perspective of 
bodily waste and a patient's wry, illuminating comment. Genocide in 
Gaza. Mazie Malone. Flynne Washburne. The usual petitions against puppy 
mills and gay panic laws, and like that. Byron Spooner's childhood 
neighborhood-and-school recollection of the aftermath of JFK's 
assassination. King Rudolph's obsessive collection of oddities during 
the 17 Years War against the Ottoman Turks, including microscopically 
engraved gemstones, an albino rhinoceros that could add, subtract and 
count to nine, trained cheetahs to hunt stags with, a quizzical 
cassowary, deformed and posed-as-deformed humans kept as pets and used 
for lawn-chess pieces, etc. Dream journal. David Herstle Jones. Major 
Mark Scaramella. A fully accoutred joke department, with an essay on 
jokes by Garrison Keillor himself. Recovered megachurch pastor Jim 
Palmer explains about toxic religion in fourteen steps. The Comtesse 
DeSpair on 200,000 kidnapped Korean and Chinese World-War-2 /Comfort 
Women/. Ezekiel's continuing interminable story of being sworn at by the 
meth-head master of Flaco and Lucky, this time including an encounter 
with his (Ezekiel's) modern-day-Scott-and-Zelda fellow tenants 
alcoholically baffled by the concept of stairs. And a Soviet-era plan to 
put out gas-field fires with little atomic bombs, which actually did the 
trick some of the places they tried it. But when all you have is an 
atomic bomb, everything looks like a gas-field fire, or an incipient 
harbor, or cheaply leveled mountain, and this was recognized, so they 
stopped before it got out of hand.

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to worthwhile items I set aside for you 
while gathering the show together, such as:

8 levels of jazziness. 8! Ah-ah-ah!

Toylike tools to learn musical theory. The overly-cautious computer I 
was using last week wouldn't shake hands properly with this site, for 
some reason, but it works great on the phone; click to install the app 
and it's instant.

And the saw lady. A Chopin nocturne. I imagine her playing this in the 
subway. Nobody's around but two crooks. One crook moves to snatch away 
her upturned tip hat with three dollars and change in it. The other, the 
smart one, sees the mongoose poised to spring look in the saw lady's 
eye, understands the danger, and calls his friend away just in the nick 
of time.
