Ken -
I won't bet a bundle that you remember me...but we had dinner
years ago when I was in San Francisco for a conference. I am a friend of
Tom, N9NC (who is now HA/N9NC). You picked me up at my hotel near the
airport and we had a great meal and a nice chat.
The reason I write is that I had no idea you were in the music
biz. I am not, but as a public radio program director, I have had a
fairly close association with lot's of folks in the jazz end of the
recording and broadcasting business. Things have changed here, but for
many years we aired LOTS of jazz...and I was a jazz reporter to GAVIN
magazine.
We still air jazz...but not as heavily...our station is mostly
news/info/talk. But I still do a weekly feature highlighting a jazz
album (usually a new release or addition to our library). And last time
the Charlie Haden Quartet was in town, I talked to Charlie, and to Ernie
Watts on the air for an hour during a talk show I co-host.
Do you play, produce, market, record, sell, hawk, or what??? Who
knows, maybe you or your biz have something I want to include in a future
program.
Not much contesting here...I am too busy with 3 daughters age 12,
14 & 18. I do try to get on the air from time to time...often chasing a
bit of DX on 40 cw, and trying to not let too many new ones get past me.
(I need P5 & BS7) but guess I am in pretty good company.
Very 73,
