Since March 17, Gary Wagner and I have been working on getting station on the Internet and finally we accomplished it on Mar. 27, at about 1 p.m. with the first cast. First record? Probably Fat Man Blues by Johnny Otis...then, If You Can Want by the Miracles...then, Let's Start All Over Again by the Paragons...and on it went.

Angry guy didn't strike.

Friday, went to the police meet the chief, had a good one. Jackman said he'd check out the traffic ticket sit, but then had a world of striking Mexican kids on Monday, other stuff on other days.

As of Mar. 30, for a three day period (Mar. 27-30), I had 314 actual listeners, which I think is damned good, considering that other stations - reggae & jazz - had about 250 in two weeks. Impressive, let's hope it keeps up.

Friday, visited Butchie Boy for the final time at Vet's Hospital, interesting guy. New issue, angry guy quiet. Now it's old history.

Went in and did my regular show on a rainy Saturday. Got good news. Benny at Rock-it doesn't mind as long as I don't plug it on his show - wish he had told me earlier so I wouldn't have done just that on Saturday. Oh well. Spent the afternoon downloading from my mp3 site so I'd have commls, Buddy Holly, r&b, soul etc.

Sat. night, Lane emailed with support. Good guy. Told him about Butchie who said "I lost my will to live." Hope he's kidding.

Woke up this morning with....well, I suddenly noticed that I had one hour less than what I had been counting on...then I remembered, daylights savings time is here again! Deep sea diver again. How many blues songs start like that.

Today, Petke told me that F. King Alexander wants to turn a certain radio station into a Minn. Public Radio station...he didn't swear me to secrecy, so I told Grudt, Stark and Wagner...and...and...not yet.

And more. As of right now, 5448 songs on the hard drive with room for maybe...at best...500 more. Right now, listening to Hershey Mouth by Bo Diddley and getting some nice email. This really seems to be working.
