Subject: Help! Need title for radio show From: GUEST,Al Date: 04 May 03 - 02:40 AM I've put in for a 2 hour slot to broadcast on KFOK-LPFM in Georgetown, California. It will be mostly old-time and traditional, with a sprinkling of contemporary artists doing old style tunes. Also, some odd stuff, like Jose Feliciano singing the first stylized version of the national anthem at the world series back in the late sixties or so. Maybe some Joseph Spence. Anyway, the committee that decides who gets a spot is meeting Monday night, and they need a title for the show. I plan on alternating the time slot with one or two other people, so I can't just use my name for the title. Any ideas? Thanks, Al |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: open mike Date: 04 May 03 - 03:40 AM sounds like a similar predicament that i am in. a 2 hour folk show on an new fm staion in oroville, ca. alternating with several other programmers. i brainstormed for a show name and found dozens. I suggest using something that has a local appeal, historical perhaps. humorous? what is the folk society there called? Bruce and Cindy Hayden have an association which produces concerts, etc. Q note productions, correct? and american river folk society may be the name of the association whcih produces concerts in the area, and was influential in starting the station too. maybe something that commemorates a river, mountain, mine or other natural or historical place in your area? interesting that FOK is in the radio station name...could you do something with the name that can still be said over the radio??!! as Thom O'Hair (the founder fo the strawberry music fest radio station) always said Fight For Free Radio (FFFR) perhaps Radio Free Georgetown or Radio Free something else would fit? Is there anything about the location of the station that might be of interest? street name? building name? what is the elevation of your area? good luck and let us know what you choose! do you know who your alternating porgrammers are? they might like to have input. my radio name is common "tater--what's yours? |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: GUEST Date: 04 May 03 - 07:52 AM If you want an audience don't mention the word 'folk' at all |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: GUEST,Geoff Date: 04 May 03 - 10:17 AM It all rather depends on just how tight your definition of folk is. If broad then might I sugesst what I suggested to a programme controller 20 years ago "Horsemusic".He wasn't impressed but to this day I remain convinced that it was a goodun. But i'm still not sure whether it was Louis or Leadbelly who asked for a definition of his music said "Well,I aint heard a horse sing" Good luck with your programme |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: open mike Date: 04 May 03 - 02:57 PM there is a band in northern california named hawks and eagles it would be best not to use their name for your show. Robbie Osmond on KPFA named his show after Kate wolf's song Across the Great Divide--that was a good name!@! is there a pass near you in the high sierras? donner summit? well the donner party may not be appetizing....dodge ridge?? a geographical name from your area? |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: GUEST,Al Date: 04 May 03 - 05:41 PM Great ideas. Keep them coming. I'll let you know by tomorrow what the final result is. Thanks, Al |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: Walking Eagle Date: 04 May 03 - 07:50 PM I'm kind of partial to The sixth and one half fret. I know it's a mouthful, but it refers to the sixth and one half fret on some dulcimers. I always thought I would name my folk music store that, if I ever got one. Or The Fifth String as it refers to the banjo. I also agree with something of local renown or the title of a song. I like Shenandoah for instance. |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: johnross Date: 04 May 03 - 09:31 PM Why not find a fiddle tune or some such with an interesting name, and use that as both the title and the opening/closing signature tune? Some possibilities: Nonesuch Possum Up a Gum Stump |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: GUEST,Al Date: 05 May 03 - 03:08 AM Well, I submitted my application tonight. I told them the show would be named "Pride of the Mountains", after the title of a historical book about Georgetown. I also said, "or maybe Radio Free Georgetown". Thank you one and all. If I get the program, and you have CD's of your music, I'd be pleased to play it. Al |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: GUEST,Al Date: 06 May 03 - 12:26 AM I don't think we have that technology yet. And we only have 2 watts. There is talk about relocating the antenna and increasing the power. I'll bring up the net idea. Al |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: yrlancslad Date: 06 May 03 - 04:21 PM What about the American Dwarf? It's the other title for Smash the Windows. I had the same problem naming my show in Santa Cruz CA, (British Isles and Irish Music) went thru dozens and final one emerged at the last minute-The Northern Bridge |

Subject: RE: Help! Need title for radio show From: GUEST,Al Date: 13 May 03 - 01:30 AM KFOK broadcasts on 95.1 FM. The show will be titled "Pride of the Mountains" and will air Monday 10 - 11 a.m. I'm not sure when the first date will be, because we need to be trained first. I'll post when I know. BTW, I changed my posting name to Al, and reset the cookie. Let's see if this works. Al |
