I even have some NEW segues written.... I'll use most of the ones from last year as well.

A couple of last year's segues:

[steven Curtis Chapman's "Dive" in the background] ... Diving into more of your favorite hits, country and otherwise, because a song remembers when on CD Showcase.

Three potential NEW segues for THIS year:

[statler Brother's original "Don't Wait On Me"] "When the lights go on at Wrigley Field..." ... You don't have to wait any longer for the lights to go on at Chicago's Wrigley Field ... and you shouldn't have to wait to hear your favorite mix of songs, country and otherwise ... CD Showcase

Glad to hear that you've got a great project going, Cort.

[knightfan26917]

Remember the book that contrasted "fortunately" and "unfortunately"? Well, here is another contrast....

Unfortunately, a few of the people and businesses I've contacted about possible sponsorships have decided to NOT sponsor the show. So, I'm still looking for sponsors. I am NOT looking to make money; I don't want the sponsors to pay all of the fees ... just part of them. I have a few ideas for ways to get the companies' message(s) across ... and have a little fun at the same time.

FORTUNATELY, I have the recordings that Stephen (tripleplate.com/carnuts.us) did of the radio shows ... part of April 6 and all of April 20 and 27. While I haven't decided on the best way to distribute copies ... if anyone is interested in receiving a FREE copy of any or all of these, please advise me.
