McMurtry

We pulled it off!

Today at 12:30 we at the Boise Community Radio Project broadcasted our first live music show. James McMurtry, who's playing tonight at the Neurolux, played an in-store at the Record Exchange in lovely downtown Boise, and the whole thing was relayed live on the web at www.radioboise.org. Apparently the sound was running a bit hot, which is a shame for folks who were trying to listen, but for us that's just a matter of dialing it in.

We announced the show live on the air, we relayed the whole thing, and then we did a back announce and fed right into my show, Range Life. It went smoothly, and now we're ready to do more of these things.

Sheesh, it's almost like we're a real radio station.

By the way, McMurtry's new record, Childish Things, is quite possibly his best work to date. And for anyone who knows the dude's output, that's saying a lot. I'll write more about it later.
