Subject: An Abergavenny Thorgellen, acrylic on black velvet.

Here's the recording of last night's (Friday, 2024-11-29) 8-hour Memo of 
the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and 
KNYO.org (and, for the first THREE hours of the show now and going 
forward, also 89.3fm KAKX Mendocino):

Coming shows can feature your story or dream or poem or essay or kvetch 
or announcement or whatever. Just email it to me. Or include it in a 
reply to this post. Or send me a link to your writing project and I'll 
take it from there and read it on the air.

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

Matt Axton and his BadMoon band - The Pusher. This band will be playing 
the Caspar Community Center Friday Dec. 6 starting at 6:30, a benefit 
for KNYO, the Little Lion in Fort Bragg (CA).

Pwning (say POOH-ning) oneself royally.

Household acoustical science. I remember noticing, and reporting via 
Redwood Free Net BBS in the middle 1990s, something like the effect 
below, which was when I stirred my hot chocolate coffee with just the 
right size spoon, the sound came: "Woin-ya, woin-ya, woin-ya, woin-ya." 
Jill Taylor liked that. A man whose BBS name was Mad Dog declared me 
nuts. This was the same Mad Dog who argued at length that if the 
government can have machine guns on the roof of their trucks, and 
cannons and bazookas and atomic bombs and missiles in their garage, 
then, under the Constitution, he should be allowed to have them too, and 
use them to defend, preemptively if necessary, his side of any line he 
chose to draw. Also there was a one-legged man named Richard Kaderli who 
felt that my newspaper (Memo) was pornographic, because I used Lawrence 
Bullock's photo of Yarrow Sprinkling with bare shoulders for the cover 
once, cleverly above the fold. In other news, more to the point of the 
link, Juanita has a little dresser whose top drawer makes a sound like a 
pleasantly surprised old woman saying softly, breathily, "OOOooh!" when 
you pull it open, and asks, "Zhoo-ooff?" when you push it shut. I'd like 
to hear about the sounds from objects in /your/ life.

One of the movies I remember admiring when it came out, and that I 
watched again last week and admired even more, was /The Imaginarium of 
Doctor Parnassus/ by Terry Gilliam. Here it is free for all, for the 
time being, and in 720p, too. I mention this because of Tom Waits, who 
fascinates in every art he attempts. His Devil character is menacing but 
darkly comical and appealingly hapless, in a different way than Absolute 
Evil was done in Gilliam's /Time Bandits/.

And the Collected Columns of Walt McKeown (Colonel Wingnuts), who forty 
and more years ago was often a fixture in the corner of Sip and Sup 
Souphouse, singing, and playing his homemade one-man-band apparatus, and 
who also pioneered a technique of measuring the ocean's surface 
temperature from the stratosphere and above. I hesitate to give out his 
contact info for where he is now in a small old-folks facility, but if 
you remember him fondly and would like to get in contact and maybe 
visit, and your relationship is or was such that you think he'd like 
that, email me and I'll pass it along through the proper channels, so I 
don't cause a problem here.
