I really love radio, it was and is my chosen media. Oh yes I love TV from yesteryear, but modern TV leaves me wanting more. Any way, the thing is and maybe a few are old enough to remember the golden age of radio, the radio dramas. Long before TV, and with only one TV station that came in very good, our family used to gather around the old Philco Ford Radio with tubes in it, and would tune into the Grand Old Oprey, on WSM, from Nashville, then we'd turn the dial a bit and we'd tune into things, like The Shadow, Lone Ranger, Batman, yes Batman was a radio drama, and the Cisco Kid. Radio pioneers like Allan Freed, WolfMan Jack, all the way up to Dr. Demento. Who I could not stop laughing, he was funny. Then came edgy radio, WolfMan started that, but Howard Stern put a twist on it. While I never worked for Stern, I did meet him once at a NAB gig, just like I did WolfMan Jack, different years of course, but I try to go to the NAB in Vegas when I can. Last two years something has always came up to swipe money from my jeans that made that trip no doable, but I try to go. The online radio thing bit in late 2002 , I had secured a house in Layton Utah that I was living in, and had space to put up the radio station. To make this short, I was Googling names for a web site, found Steve Wolf's wolfFM , found who he did that through and started a dialog with those web site creators. I would tell you who, but I don't want you know who to screw that up. So gave them a call and www.ayrewolffm.com had a page up, but not much else. I had no idea as to how to build the backend of the web site, especially one that had streaming ability. While the dip shits have no idea, cuzz they were not there, before coming to Idaho, I had two full rooms of radio broadcast gear, that as far as I know is still being held hostage for past rent in Evanston. The only reason I ain't fetched it yet? No not the past due rent, but where the hell am I to put it all? Which is why for a long time was trying to find cheap office space, both in GF and MH. As well as surrounding areas. I think I have a grip on one, will seek it out this week and see what flys. But thing is , our web site's backend is being created by Urban Dezigns in Boise. With the hosting and all from Portland Oregon. That too has a back bill but its doable. But my first responsibility is to myself,and getting going towing, which requires two things, a shop to give Lexi her make over and two a fenced yard for an impound storage yard. By the way , had I had the impound yard, things in GF might have been different. Looking back the $500.00 I missed to paying at GF there I say I should have, but shit I was looking to getting out of there back then. You'd have thought that the $5,000.00 I put on the roof of that building would have gave me some credit. Oh well it ain't like Jack did it, so what can I say. But classic radio. What if once up and on, we did radio dramas? Not taped ones from years gone by, but produced new era radio dramas. Hell one does not have to look good to be on radio, unless your doing alternate video. But hey I take my inspirations from where I get them. The thing is take radio to new wave lengths, to where they have not gone. Push the edge of decency, or what the FCC will look the other way, and have live radio, 2-7/365. No satellite , like many do, no predone radio like others do, act like all, hours are drive time and have live hosts behind the mic all the time, one guy, one gal, with a rebel attitude, an howl at the moon. Keep it Cherry
