PODCAST 153 FROM DONSPODRADIO/CKW - THE BRITISH INVASION
June 24, 2009 04:02 PM PDT
Friends: First, a big thank-you to everyone who in some way expressed their appreciation for last week's podcast. I will let you in on a little production secret - podcasts like these, featuring both Al and James take a very long time to mix, however when it is all done, the results are well worth the time taken to get it "just right!" This week, I spent another significant block of time mixing the second program in the British Invasion series and I know you will enjoy the results! OK, OK, I know I goofed last week! I was so focused on the British Invasion program and working with Al and James, that I totally forgot that Sunday was Fathers' Day. So, albeit late, here is my heartfelt wish that your day was special indeed, and that you had a very Happy Fathers' Day. I have taken my 30 lashes with a wet swimming pool noodle and am repentant. In every show, there is a spot that should probably be a "do over" and if you listen carefully, you will hear one of those - right before the first Retrospective Commentary by Al. I am so confused - is it 2 or is it 3? Listen to find out! The TV Tune of the week this week is a cute ditty from an old BBC series that made it across the pond to Canada via the CBC. Have a listen and see if you can identify this week's tune. Friends new and old make my job so easy, and really fun too. Al Murphy and I go back a number of years to careers at Moore Corporation - I in manufacturing and he in human resources! When we retired, Al and I kept in touch and when he heard my first podcast, way back in time, he jumped on the podcast bandwagon and has been a permanent fixture on the shows ever since. Nothing, and I repeat, nothing I have asked of Al, has he ever turned down. So, when I need yet another labour of love to pull together a special podcast (or series) Al is always there to do whatever I need. Thanks Al. Just a few short months ago, I met James Murphy on the internet - he had been listening to my podcasts and caught the podcast "bug." After a number of email messages back and forth by way of not only introduction, but then on to more technical information, we became "cyber-friends" - each supporting the other's programming on the internet. James has not let me down either, recording promotional material for my shows, and just a couple of weeks ago, agreeing to help Al and I roll out the British Invasion podcasts. I have never met James face to face, but am hoping that some day this might be possible. I have never been to England, but in retirement, it just may fit nicely into my travel itinerary and I can visit James during one of his disco nights at a club. The internet is a wonderful place where people like me can share a passion for music and fun with the world! And a wee part of the world is listening, and you are a part of it. So, thank-you all for tuning in to the podcasts, sending the email messages of support, and clicking on the websites. Oh, and one more thing - to Art Kollee - thanks for getting the creative juices flowing. Without your suggestion, these programs probably would have never been done. Next week, a BEATLE BLAST - for about 50 minutes, and then a little bit of Canada, as we look ahead a day or two to CANADA DAY.

Podcast SummaryOnce each week, Big Daddy Donald Roberts along with that Little Irishman Al Murphy bring you a full hour of great GOLDEN OLDIES from www.donspodradio.com. Listen to some of the greatest tunes ever recorded, every week! Al Murphy visits on the 20's with RETROSPECTIVE - a 20/20 look back on issues of interest to Al, and hopefully you as well.
Big Daddy fills in all the gaps with light banter and awesome music.
About DonaldBig Daddy Donald Roberts: I am a retired print plant manager, who has a love of music and radio - in 1967 I went to broadcasting school, and earned my diploma. Then real life kicked in, and I found a job at a printing company, where I stayed for the next 38 years. I have always had some kind of home studio, and it is there where donspodradio was born. Now I can do what I love, and do it for people who also love the music and listen to the program each week. Al Murphy is also a retiree from the same company - I was in Manufacturing and he in Human Resources! Al resides in Fergus, Ontario, which is a little bit west of Toronto - I on the other hand, live in Coquitlam, British Columbia, a bedroom community of Vancouver. When I started the donspodradio websites back in February, 2006, Al was the very first visitor - it wasn't long before he had recorded some promos for the station, and as they say, the rest is history. Now, every week Al drops by on the 20's with RETROSPECTIVE - his look back at issues of interest to him, and I hope, you as well. Every once in a while, Al either co-hosts a program, or takes over entirely - and his love of the music and information of the times shows through! It takes a bit of engineering to stretch the string tight between the two tin can microphones that link our studios, but it is well worth the effort as I am sure you will agree. So, please join us weekly, as we rock to the sounds of GREAT OLDIES - 65 minutes each week right here! Over THREE years in podcasting, and still going strong! We hope you enjoy the weekly program and will take the time to email us at dpr.adio@hotmail.com or through this service provider. Rock on. The Real Big Daddy, Donald Roberts, and the Little Irishman, Al Murphy.
