Bruce Van Dyke

howdy, and just a blurb here to let listeners of Gratuitous Echo know that the engineer of the show is still quite a ways away from the GE recording studio.  it turns out that the blue skies of Utah are pretty doggone seductive.

so bear with me and i do expect new episodes of GE will appear sometime in the next two to three weeks.  in the meantime, please enjoy the earlier GEs that we are now running.  hope we run one or two that you missed the first time around!

 

hey GE is gonna re-run an old but wonderfully peculiar and charismatic hour this saturday night, july 31st.  hope you like!

 

 

and here’s a poster from May ’66 to remind us……we HAVE made progress in certain key cultural areas.  GE is highly happy to service the ever-growing Dispensary Demo.

here are the songs heard on the latest Gratuitous Echo (#6)…..

jefferson airplane…..a small package of value will come to you shortly

camper van beethoven…..good guys and bad guys

electric flag–killin floor

the beatles–and your bird can sing

jade warrior–may queen

king crimson–i talk to the wind

joni mitchell–underneath the streetlight

carly simon–haven’t got time for the pain

d.j. blather break

the who–armenia city in the sky

traffic–hole in my shoe

pink floyd–see emily play

the stones–dandelion

the beatles–everybody’s got something to hide except for me and my monkey

the small faces–itchycoo park

(the last six songs were a flashback fantasy of listening to radio in a park in London in 1967)

Gratuitous Echo…..new episodes Saturday night at 9.  replay Weds night at 9.  and always avail on the website.  just go to DJs, then BVD, and the show is right there.  listen at your leisure!

i was chatting with a listener recently who was a bit frustrated.  she likes a lot of our programming, sure, but was crabby because songs that she liked weren’t identified.  yes, this can be a pitfall with our notorious low budget operation, BUT……this is exactly why we love SHAZAM.  this nifty app can really be helpful in the song/artist identification realm.  it’s free, it downloads very quickly, and, more importantly, IT WORKS.  really helpful for expanded appreciation of Jive Radio!  so if you don’t have it on your phone…….get widdit!

so ok, the tribute to Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green will play on JiveRadio at these times……

TONIGHT (thursday july 30) at 8

SATURDAY august 1 at 6pm

TUESDAY  august 4 at 11am

 

THEN…….we’ll make it available via the TRIBUTE page on the JIVERADIO web site, where you can listen when you like.

we know you’ll enjoy……PG left behind some AMAZING music (and this tribute runs 62 minutes).
