[Kzyxtalk] The Penguins, The Moonglows, The Orioles, and The Five Satins.

Here's the recording of last night's (2023-01-06) Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show* on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and KNYO.org:

KNYO’s antenna tower, a 70-foot redwood tree, broke off and crashed to 
earth in this week’s storm. Luckily it didn’t fall on the transmitter 
trailer. The equipment was all salvaged and the antenna is now installed 
on Sean Keppeler’s shop roof, about twenty feet to the southeast and 55 
feet lower than it was, and pumping out the waves. It’s weaker because 
of the forest around it, but it still reaches town. Top people are 
deciding the best course forward, which might be to get FCC permission 
to move the whole kaboodle downtown and put the transmitter in the 
studio on Franklin Street and the antenna on the roof there. But it 
might go up on a tree again near where it was. In any case, KNYO 
especially needs some extra money now, it really does. Go to KNYO.org 
and click on the Donate heart. Everything you give to KNYO goes to the 
physical plant and real expenses of staying on the air. Unlike all the 
other radio stations that ask you for money around here, at KNYO not 
even a single penny goes to owners and managers and people paid to raise 
money to pay themselves to raise more money. If that means something to 
you, and it should, then come on. Also there are some airtime slots open 
on KNYO. You have an idea of something to do on the radio, you can just 
arrange it and do it. It's that simple. Your own show. Just think about 
it. And then do it.

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:

A wind-dancing tree creature. It's like a shaggy sexy cartoon dinosaur-dog.

Igudesman & Joo: And Now Mozart (the whole 77 min. show). "Pliz, give 
monyeh... Music sound better with monyeh... You sit first row? You have 
monyeh, pliz give... No? ...You, sir, monyeh? ...Pliz, madam, monyeh, pliz?"

The Last Polka (the whole 60 min. John Candy film in lovely jittery VHS 
soft-focus). The tuba-ist solos impressively, if not interminably, just 
after halfway in.

And four women sing Nina Simone's Four Women. Happy new year.
