Total posts : 45366What’s Going On With That?
I have been noticing the same thing as MRAM 1500 talks about…
It seems that no matter what we do, something unanticipated goes wrong and ultimately success is measured by whether we ended up in the hospital or just have a big bruise that will heal.
This forum site doesn’t know how lucky it is that I don’t come on here everyday and list all the mishaps that happen.
The more planning that goes into a project the bigger the mishap.
The word “mishap” is a contraction of the words “miss” and “happiness”.
Everytime we do something we are “pursuing happiness”.
When unplanned accidents happen instead, we “miss” out.
Get ready. There hasn’t been a mishap in over an hour.
What will it be?
To avoid the whole thing I’m going to look for some good Italian music!
Total posts : 45366I did listen to the last quarter hour of Italian Connection and watched the studio on UStream.
The WCFI studio is like a mini-mall in which everybody walks around and goes in and out of the door.
None of the radio studios I worked in had so much foot traffic.
Total posts : 45366Yeah, considering the train passes by within a couple hundred feet of the studio a little foot traffic is hardly noticed.
Total posts : 45366Todays show features Tony and Dora.
Dora is on camera today, a little bit. She hides behind the table lamp but you can catch a glimps of her now and then.
Givani is still in Italy to return perhaps next month. Their club organizes a one week trip to Italy every year. Givani usually stays on for a month or two.
In the mean time, the show goes on…
Total posts : 45366It’s nearly 4 PM CDT while I listen to the UStream recording of today’s Italian Connection, consisting of some very happy sounding music.
Dora gets my vote for being a regular co-host… she ads a sweet and delicate touch that keeps me tuned, and I think I’m typical of all listeners.
Languages are so “foreign” to those of us who do not know them…
The two hosts alternate between perfect English and fluent Italian as easily as I switch from AM to FM, but not knowing Italian, it sounds like they are making voice squiggles and murmers.
I heard a new (to me) German word the other day, and I’ll be looking it up in case I ever need to say it… verklempt.
Now I’m off subject and see no way to get back on.

Total posts : 45366In 1967 I attended a high school football game.
Something about it seemed very strange.
For one thing the ball wasn’t spherical, it was kind of oblong and everybody risked their physical welfare trying to get the ball, then they’d throw it away.
They did it on a flat field that didn’t have trees, shrubs or pathways.
I knew far better locations within walking distance.
Although many numbers were yelled over the PA system, there was no mention of the game in math class.
Total posts : 45366That’s about the same years I was in high school and yes, I went to a few games.
I tried out for football while in the 6th grade but it didn’t work out. So instead I concentrated on my other hobbies like – radio. Maybe I should have tried base ball. They have a smaller ball.
Well the football show went OK the other night. We are trying to convince the school to handle the show with little intervention on my part.
I sent them prerecorded breaks, an opener and closer. He was a little rough on the controls but the show went on. I’m sure they’ll get better with time.
Speaking of time, it’s time for another Italian Connection Show Live. Davide, one of the talent, just arrived with his music-oops he just ran out the door said he’d be right back. Has to run home for something he forgot.
Hmmm, I may be starting the show by myself again. Live radio – it’s fun…
Total posts : 45366Madison will join Davide today. She is breaking into radio with some occasional chatter and reading copy.
Total posts : 45366These weekly Italian Connection reminders are working, they get me tuned in every week and here I am again wondering why the snack food never runs out at WCFI.
Total posts : 45366Here we are again, Live with The Italian Connection. Today Madison joins Davide again. She brought her friend with her but she only wants to nod her head.
The Friday night football game broadcast went well. I showed the school how to set their telephone hybrid interface for auto answer. That way they don’t need anyone in the studio. I can stay home and switch programs so the boss is happy as the overtime to do the game is reduced.
Our team is 0-4 so far but they did get on the score board! That should make them feel better.
If you want to check out our live broadcast today you can listen at wcfi.listen2myradio.com or you can see a webcast at Ustream.tv. Click on Watch, then search MRAM 1500.
Ciao…
Total posts : 45366Everyone love Italian restaurants for the finest in excellent food and pleasant atmosphere.
Italian music is every bit as good, and you can find it every Sunday on WCFI by traveling to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, or streaming from UStream.
As you enjoy it nod yes.
Total posts : 45366It’s Sunday and time for The Italian Connection on WCFI-LP.
Today’s show is a bit of a surprise. As usual the host arrives a little late and drops a CD on the desk to rip for todays show. Really would be less intense if it wasn’t 15 minutes to air. I have to rip, process and load into the player-no time to clean up tails.
Then the bomb drop – we’ll have two guests and we will be interviewing a musician from Austria using Skype. Ok, we’ve done Skype before-long time ago. On opening Skype I’m informed that my version of Skype is out of date and needs to be updated. Ok.
Now its about 2 minutes to air. The cd is ripped, the files normalized and loaded into the player tails as is. Skype is working on its update.
OK-10 seconds to air, Skype is done-untested and now 3, 2, 1, switch automatically ready or not.
Yes! I made it. Next, our guest Tony will Skype the musician from Austria in about 10 minutes.
Skype worked! After a fashion… A little trouble connecting, dropped the call once, but otherwise the interview went well.
The DJ’s are running the board and with all the excitement-not well-but the show goes on.
45 minutes into the show all the excitment is over, the guests have left and now for a relaxing finish for the rest of the show.
Live radio is fun…
