Re: [ARSCLIST] I wolud LOOOVE to do a somewhat similar show Was :George Jellinek

[Roger and Allison Kulp <thorenstd124@xxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,all:

I had no idea who George was,and had to run his name through Wikipedia.The also recently retired Don Tait (Friend of ARSClist,too.),had a somewhat similar show,which I only had the chance to hear once or twice,as I don't live in Chicago. I think there is a great audience for such a show,but it would have to be a show available  not only through traditional broadcasting,but online,and through satellite radio as well,which combined would bring enough of a listenership to keep a show centered around historical classical recordings going.

I can only cite WFMU as an example.They have helped bring everything from 19th Century cylinders,to 1930s calypso 78s,to insanely obscure instrumental rock 45s,from the 50s,and 60s to a new audience via the web,and podcasts.The whole world now knows and loves them.Listen to their pledge drives.At least half of the pledges come either other parts of the US,or other countries.

I would love to do a weekly show like George's,or like any of the better ones at WFMU, devoted to nothing but non operatic classical recordings,covering the entire era of nonoperatic classical records (Say,1905-90),with a special emphasis,on obscure,and unknown artists,from the electrical 78,and mono Lp era.I have the collection for it,and have considered approaching WFMU about doing such a show,but I lack the equipment to send them programs. 

The "heart" is still there,it has just moved to a different place.

People who do programs like The Vocal Scene, or my own, are getting rather rare, so we had a bit in common. He was always very helpful, and a great joy to talk to. I just wish we were both younger, and could carry on our "loves" for a while longer. Radio is changing..unfortunately, the heart seems to be going out of things, so maybe fading off into the sunset is just as well for us. Steve Slezak
