Looking Forward


I spoke in an earlier post about having two projects that I had in mind and I've had no luck with one but tremendous luck with the other. The first was to be an art/science piece that is turning out to be a bit more work than I planned on. I'll have to put it on the back burner for now. I'll keep the idea under wraps for now because I think it will happen at a later date and I am still enthusiastic about the idea but I'll need more technical help. Maybe I can go to the Smallest Art School in the World.
The second idea might be a winner though. I have approached the local radio station "Gold FM" with an idea for a show that I had in mind. I got the word from them last Friday that I could go ahead with development of the idea and at this point I hope to have my own radio show up and running within a few weeks/months(not sure at this stage). It will be an interview show where the guests will bring a playlists of songs that are special to them and we'll discuss the meaning behind some of the songs and hopefully inspire other people to remember special times and places through music.Luckily the shows will be pre-recorded just in case I start dropping F-bombs as I'm prone to do when I get excited! It was inspired by Finndego's Greatest Hits post that I did a while back. It would just be really helpful if I knew anything about radio, but I don't, but I think Glenis and Brian from Waihi Gold are the perfect people for this. They are old hands at this sort of things and still seem open to new ideas and I'm really looking forward to it.
In honour of the occasion, I've done another playlist. This playlist can be served with either beef or lamb with a green salad and a strong red wine (I recommend either merlot or pinot noir) to wash it down.

  1. Sounds very similar to Playing Favourites on Nat Rad...could get some tips there.
