WRFG interview!

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

It was a real pleasure appearing on WRFG FM with early morning host Marian Daigler. Not only is she a jem to talk with, but the audio quality of my in-studio performance was great! They really do a find job over at WRFG.

When I first arrived I didn’t know what to expect, as the station is housed inside an old school building. To be more specific, my interview was in the principal’s office! But I loved every minute of it. Even the waking-up-super-early part wasn’t so bad . Thanks WRFG!

WUGA videos uploaded (finally!)

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Dear friends and family, apologies for it taking so many months to upload these videos. The truth is we were waiting on having the editing done. Not that there was THAT much to edit – on the contrary we did very little editing (basically just added a splash page and did fade-outs for endings). No, we just were so busy that we didn’t begin the editing process until last week. So here they are – all four songs which I performed live on the air on October 12, 2007.

First Live Radio Experience

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I had hoped to write this upon returning to Decatur – while the excitement was still fresh – but unfortunately that did not happen. Other obligations got in the way, as they always do. My good fortune to always be occupied is also my misfortune. So, you read correctly! I was live on WUGA 91.7 / 97.9 FM on Friday, October 12, 2007!!! The first time a song from my debut album aired was back in 2005 (wow!), and I have gotten a lot of airplay for my music since then, however this was the FIRST time I ever appeared live on a station! WUGA is the official NPR station for Athens-Clarke County (GA, USA). It’s known as “The Classic” station because of its NPR affiliation, however WUGA plays a lot of non-Classical music including weekly Jazz and Blues programs. I appeared on a show called It’s Friday which is a weekly program airing on Fridays from 4:00-5:00 PM. This was not only a great opportunity, but also a great time slot, as 4-5 PM is the start of rush hour! I can’t imagine how many new fans I made as eager listeners tuned in on their way home from work and school (Athens is home to the University of Georgia, hence the station’s call letters).

       When I arrived I was promptly greeted by the program’s host, Robb, who is a great guy and very pleasant company. He made me feel right at home in the recording room. It was a room too, not a booth – quite larger than I had expected with 20-foot ceilings and cement block walls. There were dozens of lighting cans hanging from the rafters. I later learned that the room was a television studio before the radio station took over (which also explained the ’green screen’ cloth backdrops and scattered ficus trees). Heather Purdin, who now lives in Boone, NC but used to live in Athens, went on before me. Well, actually I played an instrumental improvisation on my guitar during Robb’s opening remarks and then Heather proceeded with her interview. She performed three songs very beautifully. After the 30-minute mark it was my turn, and I felt very comfortable. I encourage all of you who missed the live broadcast to listen to the audio feed posted here. Comment! I thrive on fan feedback and criticism. Oh, I have video too but have not yet figured out how to convert it to a managable file size. Looking forward to your comments   ~NE
