"The Big Broadcast" radio program

This is a great radio show out of NYC that specializes in the pre-Swing Jazz and Pop of the late 20s and early 30s.

Just passing his edited e-mail along.

Dear John,

During my recent trip out West, I was listening to The Big Broadcast online in a bowling alley (!) in Payson, Arizona. I wondered, "Am I the only person in this town that knows about my show? Is anybody else in Arizona listening?" Isn't it possible, even likely, that five, ten, maybe fifty people in Arizona enjoy music from the 1920s and 30s? Could there be others who would like this wonderful music, if they only had the chance to hear it? For all we know, there could be thousands around the country, more globally, who like this music, but have no idea The Big Broadcast exists. Barring some unanticipated national exposure, they're unlikely to find out. That's not good for the music, and, ultimately, is terminal for The Big Broadcast.

I'm asking you to send this along to somebody you think might enjoy the show. With our tower issues solved, our NYC signal is the strongest it's been in my thirty three years at WFUV. And the online and archived shows mean there's nobody who can't hear the program.

Your can find out more at http://www.bigbroadcast.com or http://www.wfuv.org.

And here's a link to Terry Golway's article on The Big Broadcast from the New York Observer: http://www.observer.com/20060213/200602 ... seguys.asp

One last thing. On Wednesday, June 21st I'll be hosting "Ragtime to Swingtime," at the Kaye Playhouse, for the JVC Jazz Festival. It features Vince Giordano's Nighthawks, Dan Levinson's Roof Garden Jass Band, Bryan Wright, Nancy Anderson and Andy Stein's Blue Five. The concert includes salutes to Ben Pollack and the Casa Loma Orchestra. Watch this site: http://www.festivalproductions.net/jvcjazz.htm for more details.
