you are such an efficient web searcher. I got sidetracked reading the company bio:

British company active from 1928 t0 1978. I don't recall having heard of them before.

I wasn't familiar with that brand either. I know that website from my previous search to find the Grundig model that my parents brought over from Germany in 1955.

It's the only way to get to Carnegie Hall, apparently. Which seems weird to me, because you'd think there would be a road or a path or some normal way to get in.

This also happened yesterday. My theory was that someone accidentlly connected, but didn't realize it, and was streaming nothing.

Not sure about that. Sometimes the equipment at the mothership just naps.

If that is the case, then I doubt Krys will be able to connect until that connection is dropped.

Krys, it is about time, have you tried to connect?

Mr Fab:

Hi, all. What happened yesterday, and what might be happening now is the system was stuck. John had to go in and shut down both the broadcaster and Barno’s BUTT connection. He rebooted it all up and it started again. So hopefully that’s what he’s doing now.

This is the first I am learning of Arthur S. Alberts. He did significant field work. His perspective is not too dated. His music choices are top notch.

I am guessing that Bill Brower (sp?) was the professional presenter of a script based on information from Alberts. Am very interested in the history of those presenting history.

That sounds like it fits. There is scant information about this episode outside of a vague, bootleg-y CD on Amazon.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:53pm
Austin Rich:

There's a show sort of like this on the BBC, called, "The Radio 3 Documentary." Really well produced, it's often about music, but also, about literature and other parts of culture. Beautifully edited, wonderful presenters. It's been a while since I heard a new one, but I love the ones they've made already.
