AND ALSO WE SHOULD NOTE THIS HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT PASSING…….

the great OTIS RUSH, one of the last of the legendary Chicago Blues Dudes, passed on recently.  on September 29th, to be exact.  he was 83.  we might just have to whip up a tribute to the man, who was a blues guitar TITAN and that’s beyond argument!

every week, we have positive experiences with the Shazam app.  so this is a reminder that this app can be very helpful in getting you the song and artist information you desire.  it’s pretty nice…..to be able to hold your phone up to the speaker while a song is playing…..a song/artist you’d like to identify…..and have that information flash on to your gizmo within seconds.  with Jive Radio being mostly computerized in its own unique and funky way…..Shazam provides a lot of shade!

just go to any App Store.  Shazam will be there.  Free.  downloads to your phone/device in a minute.  if that.  assuming you’re not somewhere between Cedarville and Shingle City.

a reminder as to our latest schedule here in OCTOBER 2018

monday thru friday–6 to 10am  Bruce Van Dyke’s Big Bucket O’ Tunes, with disc jockey Randy Shuffle making the selections.

Don Darue’s Risky Biscuit Hayseed Hoot, in its 26th year (!) now plays on Jive Radio on Wednesday 12 noon to 2 pm.  and on Saturday from 2pm to 4pm.  the finest in modern Americana music with a healthy dose of smart ass attitude.

Sister Tiny’s Song & Dance (yes, THAT Sister Tiny, the one from KFAT)–Weds. 10 am to noon, Sat. noon to 2 pm.

Di’s Jive Cafe (presented by Diane Michaels, the diyatollah of rock n rollah)–Weds. 2 to 4 pm. Sat 4 to 6 pm.

at all other times, you’re hearing the The Master Bucket of Schizoclectic Musical Noodles, prepared by Ascended Masters of The Great Gaian Groove Thang.  so there’s that.

every once in a while, we like to remind you of an app that really helps Jive Radio listeners with song and artist identification.  it’s a wonderful application called Shazam.  it’s free and it downloads to your device in 1-2 minutes at the most.  once you install, it’s very simple to use.  when you hear a song that sparks a desire for info, you just hold your device up to the speaker as the song plays.  within seconds, Shazam will identify (usually) the song, the artist, and often the album title.  it’s a very spiffy app and a very handy helper for us at Jive, where most of the time, the songs are being played via random shuffle mode of a computer at Jive Central HQ, and aren’t being identified after airplay.  Shazam is our favorite CYA app here at JR!

I’ve found that Shazam will make the call about 80-85% of the time, and when you consider some of the crazy, obscure stuff we occasionally throw out there, that’s a most acceptable batting average.

of course, when you listen to the shows of Sister Tiny, Diane Michaels, and Hayseed Don Darue, you WILL get songs and artists identified, cuz they old school bossjox!  so that’s nice……

that number reflects the reality of Jive Radio programming.  that for every 60 minutes you listen, you will hear 59 minutes of our various schizoclectic music selections.  not bad!

of course, if that’s just TOO MUCH music, you have plenty of places to find relief on your radio/internet dial.  but we are relentless in our pursuit of 59/60.

and also……96.5 FM in redmond, oregon has new call letters.  the station used to be KSQI.  but now, it’s officially KJIV. the jive is alive in the high desert of Oregon!  we are hopeful of bringing a mind boggling galaxy of tunes to towns like Redmond, Culver, Tumalo, Terrebonne, Prineville, Sisters, and Bend.

here is our list of musical genres…….rock, pop, blues, zydeco, jazz, reggae, soul, r & b, country, bluegrass, jam, country rock, jazz rock, rockabilly, americana, lounge, unnameable, super goofy, totally weird, music of the spheres, mongolian throat singing, psychedelic yodeling, humpback whale classics, malevolent mariachi, and so forth.  enjoy!
