Update from Cort via Facebook:
In case you intend to “tune in” Friday, please be aware that the start time of this special radio broadcast is now 12:30p, CENTRAL (1:30p eastern, 11:30a mountain, 10:30a pacific).
Thank you for posting the update for me ... I REALLY appreciate it!!!
Cort, you sounded awesome tonight, Sorry I didn't get to reply much, But I had to get this place ready for family.
Thank you, Dave ... and, no worries. I'm glad you wrote in to let me know you had tuned in!!!
You did better than I did. I overlooked this post until this morning. Just so many things going on and not much time to look at everything. I missed it this year. Sorry, Cort. Hopefully you had a blast.
Hey, bud, NO worries. If it makes you feel better, you aren't the only one. I've had a handful of people tell me that they weren't able to listen for one reason or another. I just wish I had been able to record the show to share with those that missed out. Ah, well ... best thing next to that is to post the playlist, etc., so check out below! And, yes, I had a BLAST!!!
He did really good, Didn't sound as nervous as usuall, LOL! I had the Computer speakers on Full blast here in the basement, and could hear the music upstairs as I worked, But Missed out on his little intros. Cort you speak too quiet! LOL!
Heh ... that, unfortunately, is partly the microphone and such at the radio station. I noticed, too, how much louder the music was, but I couldn't increase the volume on the mic at all
. Ah, well. Glad you enjoyed it ... and thank you!!!
Downtown Elgin IL, near WRMN's studios:
__THANK YOU!__
I appreciate all of you who wrote in during the live radio show, posted on Facebook & sent Emails after the broadcast. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I had a blast hosting it.
Several asked "why do you have to pay?" to do this. It is a "brokered" show; WRMN sells airtime.
