| Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here are the inimitable Mr. Pete Fountain and his band performing Jazz Me Blues ¤ (8:33). While we're here, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the guys in our SDA Late Nite Radio Maintenance Shop for keeping our equipment in good repair. We couldn't do it without you, gentlemen. Update: Mrs. Clarence Upton, of Bueler, Iowa, has just sent us here in the studios this photograph of her listening to tonight's show. Thanks Mrs. Upton, we're glad you liked tonight's show! |
Pete Fontaine, (Pierre de la Fontaine) was the real New Orleans jazzman. Thanks Vit!
Love the photos, Vitruvius. I have some radio gear at home that's nearly that old. Got to love the fire bottles.
I love the B+W photos of the radio station. Any idea of where and when?
Speaking of where and when. Temp at Eureka Station at 12:00 AM CST--minus 39°C. Do icebergs melt at that temp? Just thought I'd ask!
My Mom and dad had a large Zenith radio in the living room when I grew up. It ran on 2-6V car batteries that were in the basement. My Dad's favorite song was "Why Don't You Believe Me" by Patti Page. It's on You Tube, but you won't get the sound that we got from the Zenith. I think it was mahogonay case that gave it the "reverb" that has all but disappeared. The radio also had Shortwave. We had a 100 foor wire antennae from the house to the shed. Every time we had a lightning storm, the lightning arrestor was fried. My dad was a telephone lineman, he got it fixed right away.
I've got an old 1942 Marconi in mahogany sitting in my living room. Beautiful tone but the insulation on the wires has degenerated so badly I won't plug it in anymore.
The Equipment is mounted in Portable Cases, that would suggest something Military... Nothing I recognize...
The Spring Olympics are over.
Yes, so now the blog-o-sphere can get back to
what it's best at: fomenting paranoid delusion.
The sanity of tonight's show only lasts so long.
What's that, Sir Reel? :)
Solid radio gear there Vit. You can just hear those hot harmony valves / tubes adding rich harmonics to the music.
Some tube guitar amps make all the difference to rich base and these days they cost an arm and a leg.
In 1969, I bought some old radio magazines as keepsakes from a ham radio store on West 4th in Vancouver. They are full of great graphics and B&W photos.
Radio one and R/9 magazines from 1935 through the war years. Back covers display the 'Best Science! Hallicrafters Super Sky Rider equipment or 'Hytron' Arsenal of Democracy UHF and portable electronic tubes.
[wartime]
I can be separated from these historic magazines for $100 each. A true bargain.
Old hams know these brand names.
As usual, got sidetracked after pete Fountain's magic licorish and jammed away with guitar gems on Youtube.
Where does the time go?
Dr. Fountain's Magical Licorice Stick Remedy for the
Blues was, indeed, my first vinyl album of Pete's, TG.
Politican = “weather” = “climate change” = “global warming” = AGW Fraud.
AGW Fraud + Campbell = Our Enemy, the State.
Notice the use of the AGW Trinity words: “climate change” + “weather” + “global warming”.
All are plastic/elastic words which are not defined.
They are meant as “scare words” to instill fear/anxiety which can only be alleviated by increased State intervention/taxation.
Campbell is a fraud.

“Campbell blames climate change for ‘Spring Games’
The record-breaking warm weather that made a soggy mess of Cypress Mountain, forcing Olympic organizers to truck snow to the slopes, was caused by climate change, B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell says.
And witnessing the “Spring Olympics” has convinced Mr. Campbell he must accelerate his campaign against global warming.
This week, the Premier will face a renewed assault on his controversial carbon tax, as business leaders use today’s provincial budget to decry the competitiveness gap arising from the province’s levy on fossil fuels.
“I think people are not looking at the big picture. We just had the warmest winter in over 100 years in Vancouver,” Mr. Campbell said in an interview with The Globe and Mail.”

this is an outrage. Congress should hold hearings and hold GM's owners to account in a public setting. Ohh wait ....
Gordon Campbell is an idiot. There I said it.
Hmm, kinda' reminds me of the Liberal Party:

Love the Pics, Vitruvius.
Dalrymple has a piece up which kinda supports your view of the "angerosphere" (sp?). He counters the contemporary romantic view that anger expressed reduces anger.

Mrs. Clarence Upton, of Bueler, Iowa, and her radio. This picture reminds me of us sitting around the radio in a close circle in the late 40s listening to Boston Blackie, Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers and Ma Perkins. No underarm deodorant those days either.

"More than 5,000 Australians strip on the steps of the Sydney Opera House in the name of art
More than 5,000 people turned up at the Sydney Opera House today to get naked in the name of art. Braving an early morning chill they shed their clothes, abandoned any embarrassment, and posed naked for renowned American nudist photographer Spencer Tunick.
People came in all shapes and sizes and one heavily pregnant woman even postponed the birth of her twins so she could take part.

"The Flu Season That Fizzled--Cases of H1N1 Have Dwindled, Seasonal Flu Has Been a No-Show...
This has been a flu season like few others.
Normally at this time of year, influenza is rampant in the U.S., prompting hundreds of thousands of people to stay home in the dead of winter with fever, aches and pains.
Now, after raging through college campuses and communities last summer and fall, cases of the new H1N1 swine flu virus have dwindled to a trickle, and run-of-the-mill seasonal flu has barely made an appearance. Not one state reported widespread flu illness to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the week ended Feb. 20, the latest data available. The percentage of all doctors' visits by patients with influenza-like symptoms has dropped from a high of 7.8% in late October—the largest peak since the agency began surveillance in 1997—to 1.8% in late February, well below the norm for flu season.
Doctors and flu experts say the lull is unusual. "This is typically the peak of flu," said James Turner, executive director of the University of Virginia's department of student health. He said the Charlottesville, Va., student health center usually sees as many as 130 students a week complaining of flu symptoms this time of year. Recently, no more than three to five students a week have been coming in with fever, cough or other signs of flu, he said.
It is not clear why there is so little flu, particularly swine flu, going around, experts say. "Surely there's a sufficient number of people who haven't been infected or vaccinated," said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
Many scientists say the answer probably has to do with how the flu virus progresses. Influenza comes and goes in waves, normally running from October through May...

"Polley pulls name from sponsored film
Canadian filmmaker Sarah Polley is dissociating herself from her latest film, slated to air in Canada during the upcoming Academy Award broadcast.
In a statement released Tuesday, the Toronto-based actress and director said she is pulling her name from the two-minute short The Heart, which she created for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, because she's learned it will also promote "a product."
The foundation's healthy living campaign is sponsored by margarine and oil company Becel."

"'Grassroots' Coffee Party Organizer Exposed as Obama Political Operative
Surprise! Surprise!
It turns out that the "grassroots" organizer of the "progressive alternative" to the Tea Parties, the Coffee Party, has been exposed as an Obama political operative. If you had read the profiles of the Coffee Party founder Annabel Park (photo) in the Washington Post or New York Times you wouldn't have had a hint as to her extensive political activity in the 2008 Obama campaign. So how did William A. Jacobson of Le-gal In-sur-rec-tion discover this "deep secret" that the two major newspapers with their vast resources were unable to find? Well, it required the "tremendous effort" of tapping a few keys and a whole mouse click to find this subject matter as Jacobson explains:
In fact, a simple internet search (which the NY Times apparently is not capable of doing) reveals that Park organized the Coffee Party for the specific purpose of undermining the Tea Party movement.
Park is a former Strategy Analyst at the NY Times who was one of organizers and operators of the United for Obama video channel at YouTube:"

Kudos Kate, for the great effort to inform and stimulate. I had just finished watching again, the series on YouTube by Denys Blakeway, about Enoch Powell.I was struck by how those who hated Powell, and dissed him in the previous 2 parts, admitted in the third part, that they were "surprised", "dismayed", and "shocked" at the "unforeseen outcome" of their past efforts to make UK multicultural. These lib left idiots, if they had listened to Enoch, would not have been "surprised" or any of the other above adjectives.
They were in effect, proving, that he was right, and that the Brixton riots, the 7-7-07 bombing, the "un-integrated" Islamic clerics fomenting hatred and advocating destruction of UK society and implementation of Shari'ah, were all a result of these idiots encouraging by law, and deed, the immigrants NOT to integrate.
Sarah Polley films are also "products". Remind me not to pay to go and see them.

Ken Kulak - re: no deoderant; I remember mid '50s
Granny Dingwall (actually my cousin's gran) loved to hug little boys. Large blowsy woman with huge breasts and a dead fox around her neck. She smelled of an exotic mixture of alcohol, B.O. and cheap perfume, or perhaps lavender.
