/"This is your home now. We welcome you with three merit points and a 
work assignment. In your time here, full cooperation will be rewarded 
with further merit points, which may be traded for privileges such as 
food, shelter and permission to speak. Anything less than full 
cooperation will cost you points. Attempts to avoid service, by digging, 
or self-harm, are permitted during sleep period. Oh, yes, ahem, and the 
attitude adjustment facility is soundproof now, thanks to the generous 
merit point donations of those who came before you. That's all. Get to 
work, and have a wonderful, uh, day."/

Here's the recording of last night's (2023-02-03) Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show* on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and KNYO.org:

Here's a link to my dream journal project that I add to at random every 
week or so. I'd like to read /your/ dreams on the radio and I always 
offer to. Just email me.* Or include them in a reply to this post. Or 
send me a link to your dream journal and I'll make a note to go there 
and check for updates.

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but 
nonetheless worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the 
show together. Such as:

John Hartford – Gum Tree Canoe.

3D Mars flyover. This would go great with Laurie Anderson’s /Big 
Science/ playing over it: “Hey pal! How do I get to town from here? And 
he said, Well, just take a right where they’re going to build that new 
shopping mall… Go straight past where they’re going to put in the 
freeway…Take a left at what’s going to be the new sports center... And 
keep going until you hit the place where they’re thinking of building 
that drive-in bank. You can’t miss it. And I said, This must be the place.”

And /Poker Face/ as Western swing. (Lantec1000 wrote: “Interesting fact 
about this song. Lady Gaga was very anti-war at the time when World War 
II first broke out. But after D-Day, she performed for the soldiers 
overseas and saw first hand the destruction that the war has caused. She 
decided to fully support the war effort and this song was alluding to 
the radar technology the British invented and played as a taunt to the 
Germans.”

*Email your written work, it doesn't have to be a dream, and I'll read 
it on the very next Memo of the Air on KNYO. I don't care what it’s 
about nor even if you can’t control yourself from swearing like a 
sailor; most of the show is during Safe Harbor hours when that’s okay. 
It’s still a free country, or so they say. Find out for yourself.
