Noon UK. . .Thanks and have a great week! Stay Tuned! http://www.trmradio.co.uk
My two most recent TRM Shows went very well indeed! Found Romeo Void's lead singer Debora Iyall, emailed her, and she is so incredibly nice! She sent me some of her newest music and lemme tell ya, she can still belt out the songs with the best of them! Played two on my Saturday show and will play more on my upcoming shows. SO GLAD The PondHawks' Jorie Gracen and Mario Novelli suggested I go on internet radio. . .! It has opened up many new worlds for me, found new friends for me, and lets me share great music with the entire planet! My studio engineers like what I play, too - and for kitties, they have impeccable taste in music! ("Keep The Fancy Feast coming, Mom, and you can play ANYTHING you want to on your shows!") MANY THANKS to TRM's DJ Shaz and Brian N. for letting me fill your ears twice a week and for being so wonderful to their presenters. MANY THANKS to Stevie Riks for the outstanding "Beatles promos" for my shows! Also, please listen to my friend Molly The K's new show on TRM, "Lunchbox" Mondays at 4 AM Pacific, 5 AM Mountain, 6 AM Central, 7 AM Eastern, and
Noon UK. . .Thanks and have a great week! Stay Tuned! http://www.trmradio.co.uk It sure feels weird not doing my radio shows this week! I won't be on the air the 22nd and 23rd for personal reasons but will return to TRM Radio on the 29th and 30th of this month. I miss not spinning great music for you and promise that I will always listen to YOU, the listener, and what you'd like to hear! See you soon, and thanks for listening! I am ecstatic to be with http://www.trmradio.co.uk and hope to be there till the end of Time!
On March 30th, since it's the closest I can get to broadcasting for April Fools Day, I will be playing what are called "Novelty Songs" on my Musical Potpourri Show. These are songs like "The Thing," "Purple People Eater," and so forth. Do you have a favorite Novelty Song from the late 50's or early 60's? (I am partial to Stan Freberg and Dickie Goodman songs of that era.) If so, please let me know and hopefully I can add your song to the playlist! Should be fun! Thanks and Stay Tuned! The first TRM Radio Indies and Oldies Show on March 15th went ka-blooey! After the first hour of the two scheduled, WinAmp decided to sklp over 50 minutes' worth of music and play the last two songs! It also decided to freeze my microphone controls so I couldn't really say anything about what was happening! It did this once before, on my old laptop, so this time I knew for sure it was WinAmp and not my new laptop. I have a habit of setting up both laptops before a broadcast; one for the broadcast and the other to IM my station manager, the wonderful Shaz, in case I need to communicate with her before and during the broadcast. Let me say right now that at TRM, Shaz supports her DJ's to the max! She herself is a DJ and treats everyone at TRM Radio they way she would want to be treated and I can say without hesitation that we TRM DJ's are treated wonderfully. I scrambled a bit while IMing with Shaz, trying to get the problem fixed but after about ten minutes it was clear that I had to end the broadcast and Shaz went to what is called "auto-DJ," and that just means a machine programmed to broadcast recorded music over the network. Shaz told me that stuff happens and tried to cheer me up. . .and she did. I want to publicly thank her for being so wonderful - not just yesterday, but every day!
Today's Musical Potpourri Show broadcast went without any problems at all other than WinAmp "disappearing" from my computer until literally about two minutes before broadcast! More frantic IMing with Shaz! I had to shut down and reboot a few times before WinAmp behaved properly and when it did it was a thing of beauty! The show went off without a hitch, Frannie Airczech was on the phone telling me the show was being received just fine by her in Illinois - and therefore by the network who was streaming it out to the planet - and all was well with My World! Thanks again to Shaz and also to Frannie Airczech - and no, that's not her real name! It's Eunice Airczech! (No, just kidding!) I also found out the Portland neighborhood that claims k.d. lang as one of its residents. . .and I am not lying when I say that I have been a fan of k.d.'s since the 80's. I hope to meet her one day and maybe get a live interview with her for one of my TRM shows! Wouldn't that be a kick and a half?!?! Thanks TRM Listeners, for your support, kind words, and encouragement. Stay Tuned! REMINDER - NO TOBY CHICAGO SHOWS MARCH 22 & 23 FOR PERSONAL REASONS. I WILL RETURN ON MARCH 29 AND 30 WITH TWO GREAT SHOWS FOR YOU! KEEP IT LOCKED AT WWW.TRMRADIO.CO.UK AND I THANK YOU! SO SORRY that the software used to stream my show to England for distribution to the internet messed up today. The first hour was a series of intermittent songs and spoken words that faded in and out. The second hour was better, I am told, so hope whatever was wrong is cleared up by my next show on Friday. Thanks to TRM Station Manager Shaz for trying her best to fix it from there, but it was the software's fault, not TRM's or mine. Thanks for staying tuned! TRM listeners are wonderful - and so is TRM!
ON ANOTHER NOTE, I will be off the air on March 22 and 23 for personal reasons and should be back on TRM by March 29! ON YET ANOTHER NOTE, please note that since Daylight Saving Time began here before British Summer Time (BST) begins in The United Kingdom, shows on TRM that originate on America will begin ONE HOUR LATER through March 30th. BST begins on March 31 and American shows should be back to their regular times on that date. For example, my shows begin at 5 PM Eastern Time US on Fridays and Saturdays, but from now until the 31st, they will begin at 6 PM Eastern. NO time changes for our friends in The UK! Thank you, and Please Stay Tuned! I HAVE DECIDED TO SEVER ALL TIES WITH Q-STAR RADIO AS OF THIS MOMENT. In my opinion today's snafu on their end that blocked my show from streaming out to you was inexcusable and was not the first time there have been snafus on their end - I have just never voiced them to you before because I am a professional and have good business manners. I thank Q-Star for my start on Internet Radio and I will remain with TRM, a professionally-run station with supportive management. I have asked the Owner/Manager at Q-Star to remove my show and all schedule information from his website immediately. Please tune in to www.trmradio.co.uk Fridays (beginning March 15th) for Toby Chicago's Indies and Oldies Show and on Saturdays to hear Toby Chicago's Musical Potpourri. Both shows can be heard on their respective days at 5 PM Eastern, 4 PM Central, 3 PM Mountain, 2 PM Pacific - also 10 PM UK and 12 Midnight (Sunday Morning) South African. Thank you, Loyal Listeners! You're The Best! PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO US DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME AND UK BRITISH SUMMER TIME, SHOW TIMES MAY VARY ONE HOUR LATER IN THE USA UNTIL BRITISH SUMMER TIME BEGINS IN APRIL. THANK YOU!
