Bumping again as we both have changed our name to WIWS and are
again playing vintage holiday music in Am sound for the next couple of
days…I figured this might appeal to a couple of people here.

Just bumping as we are playing traditional Christmas stuff all day long,
much of it from vinyl - thought that might appeal to a few people here.

Totally tongue-in-cheek!

I was making comment of a few things I don't miss about AM radio. Though, now that I hear your show, I kind-of miss that too. Weird!]]> Sun, 03 Oct 2021 14:53:13 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9681&PID=59269&title=ot-the-ray-ford-show#59269 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9681&PID=59265&title=ot-the-ray-ford-show#59265 Author: vanmeter

I'm not sure if you are being tongue-in-cheek or serious, but that's really the basic idea...just to recreate the experience. I feel like there are so many places to hear high quality music we wanted to go the opposite direction, especially since we both grew up hearing music in this manner!

I haven't had a chance to "Tune-In" much more than a half hour or so, so far. From what I hear, it's a truly authentic sounding radio show from the era. I'm at least old enough to remember
listening to music on AM radio in the mid 60's before FM was in full control.

Aside from the background distortion and reverb added in, I'd be pleased to hear some of the AM effects of the day, like tuning whistles occasionally, or 60 cycle buzz from appliances that
were nearby your radio making interference. I read that you intentionally put the recordings in lo-fi to make the experience sound more authentic. So, those are my suggestions.

At any rate, it sounds like dropping into a time machine. I hope that's what you were aiming for. :)]]> Sat, 02 Oct 2021 19:44:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9681&PID=59264&title=ot-the-ray-ford-show#59264 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9681&PID=59261&title=ot-the-ray-ford-show#59261 Author: vanmeter

We are taking requests tonight if there’s anything of the era you want to
hear in AM fidelity! Let me know here!]]> Fri, 01 Oct 2021 17:51:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9681&PID=59261&title=ot-the-ray-ford-show#59261 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9681&PID=59254&title=ot-the-ray-ford-show#59254 Author: vanmeter

Hey Ray! I finally got around to checking out your station
and I am loving it! Although I was born in 1969 I was
raised listening to my Dad's favorite station WCBS-FM out
of NYC. Your station is like WCBS-FM with a playlist
extending into the Bubbling Under charts and album cuts.
I can't get over the great one-hit (and no-hit) wonders
that you're digging up. I'm pleased to say that my Dad is
still with us. He is going to love this. Thanks for
keeping this music alive.]]> Wed, 29 Sep 2021 08:02:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9681&PID=59252&title=ot-the-ray-ford-show#59252 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9681&PID=59250&title=ot-the-ray-ford-show#59250 Author: vanmeter

No, not that at all really - especially since we're lowering the fidelity and adding reverb and static! More just that there are some cases where the CD releases don't really match the vinyl so as I can I'm switching out disc dubs. Elvis especially; a lot of the CD reissues seem much closer to the masters, but the records themselves had added reverb and compression (like "I Got Stung") so I'm trying as I can to make sure anything I know is different is correct. But there are still some that aren't...it'll just be an ongoing project.

There is some early Beatles (including some of the Beat Brothers material) and right now no Stones but I might put in some of the earliest material. I'm on the fence about the British Invasion stuff...some of it feels right to me and some of it doesn't mix well at all. There's no real rule to any of this in my mind, just whatever seems to work together. ]]> Mon, 27 Sep 2021 18:02:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9681&PID=59250&title=ot-the-ray-ford-show#59250
