We gathered at our usual practice spot to pack the gear up. We had planned to play but Matt felt like he was getting sick again, and he decided he didn't want to rough up his voice practicing for the radio show. This upset Eric a little who wanted to go over a few spots in a few songs before going live on the air. You could say there was some shouting, arguing, anger, but the truth is that we were just nervous.
I had been in WFHB's studio's about 10 years ago doing a program called "youth radio," where they have DJ's that are in middle/high school. This put me a little more ease than Eric or Matt, but I still had my worries. Specifically my idea to enhance the radio show, and get it played live out in San Francisco, Seattle, D.C., and Texas.
WFHB's antenna only reaches 3 cities in our area; Elletsville, Nashville, and Bloomington. However, with their internet radio we had the ability to have anyone listen anywhere. And with internet that leaves a lot of possibilities.
Unfortunately for us the webstream went down just a few hours before we played. Which is probably why I wasn't so nervous. As it turned out - the whole thing felt a lot like practice.
The whole idea was to have pictures uploaded directly to Zannel.com, and have people listen to the webstream. This would have allowed to people all over the U.S. to watch us in studio as we were playing live on the radio.
But even without the internet air play, we got 6 songs recorded for free, and met some awesome guys in the studio. We want to really thank Abe, Shane, Local Live, and WFHB for having us on the air. Visit our website to download the whole radio show, or the songs as we played them. Here's the list:
1) Spillway Blues
2) Morning Time
3) Bus To Chicago
4) Never Be
5) To Climb A Hill
6) To Drink of God's Sorrow's
