Oompah Hour #400

[timinbovey]

Wow! It’s Oompah Hour #400!  That’s over 6000 polkas played on the show!

This week we have a 78 of the week, and our first Christmas themed polka for the year!

Grab it at the usual link:

Last week it seems I forgot to include the show link in my email! In case that happens again (and it probably will, LOL) remember the show is ALWAYS at the same link each week:

[audio src="http://www.ironrangecountry.com/oompahhour.mp3" /]

So if you bookmark that, or go back to a previous email message for the link, it’s always the same! I do that because some stations use software that automatically downloads the show for them each week and that won’t work if they have to type in a new link every week!

And remember, for better or worse, EVERY show is online and available to be downloaded all the way back to show number one!   So if you wanted to do a 400 hour polka marathon they’re all available exactly as broadcast (so they may have dated references in them). I never built a nice directory for them, but to access them the link is:

[audio src="http://www.ironrangecountry.com/ooompaharchive/oompahhour122.mp3" /]

Now, in that example it will  take you to show number 122. To get a different show you leave the link the same EXCEPT you change the show number and it will go direct to that mp3.  And yes, the folder folder name IS spelled with THREE o’s (that’s not a typo).

So, there ya go. The keys to the archive!  There’s also a dandy directory WITH the show playlists in the ALPB website “content” section.
