00:00:24.300 - 00:00:43.360

I'd say about 2/3 of our budget comes from commercial sponsors. We try to get the sponsors, who are we think ecologically sound, who are not destroying the air, the land and the water. And then the other one third comes from our listeners in various forms. We

00:00:43.360 - 00:00:56.160

have some subscriptions to our program guide and then we have our famous or infamous be a DJ program where people come in and buy time on the station for an hour or two and do what they want to, they can talk about anything they want to

00:00:56.170 - 00:01:11.570

talk about, they can sing, they can dance, that's the way we finance it. What other kinds of programming do you have? Oh mercy me. We do everything we can, we play music from India and music from china and music from Japan. We play old timey jazz,

00:01:11.940 - 00:01:31.990

we have enormous collection of biograph recordings, obscure recordings. We do a lot of american folk music, american indian music. We have festivals, we had a whole festival 48 hours of music from India on the 24th and 25th of december last year because we loathe the commercialization

00:01:31.990 - 00:02:33.250

of christmas so much, we wanted to do something different with it and we did, You know so much of radio in this country is so bad, 98% of it is run by terrible robber barons left over from the

00:02:33.250 - 00:02:45.500

19th century and it's my view that radio should in a way go back to the people where people can come in the door and be on the air where they can have the freedom of the air time that most commercial broadcasters are going to deny them.

00:02:45.500 - 00:03:00.290

We've got to give them that freedom so that they can go on the air and be heard with their music and their ideas and their thoughts and their feelings. Um it's very hard to fight the commercialism of radio, the over commercialism, the, the need to make

00:03:00.300 - 00:03:12.270

a box, but I think we're doing it, I think it came down, we're making time available to all sorts of community groups so they can be heard. You have about 60 seconds to make the announcement that you want to make. So if you want to go

00:03:12.270 - 00:03:33.270

ahead and just do it, go ahead. Okay, there's a benefit, thursday, june 10th at Forbes Mill. It's located behind Old Town over the footbridge in Los Gatos. It starts at 1 30 in the afternoon. Duck Brothers will be playing a blues band and many more in

00:03:33.270 - 00:03:55.570

the good old steamboat, but also boat whistles. You would hear boats. They made about a mile a year. And maple ahead of steve. Well, they race down the stream one and a good old steamboat in the good old steamboat in the good old symbol day sound

00:03:55.570 - 00:04:14.680

to make your day ST louis XI was one, you know, and new Orleans was far from slow and dear old Memphis too. Well, she was quite a few Now, they've grown since the good old steamboat, since the steamboat in the good old steamboat days when the

00:04:14.680 - 00:04:33.660

river would not raise the old miss. If she got so Logan about some of the river, the dust would blow fish car pipes and cats and they all were, they're killed in the good old team. This is Jack Nicholson for Katie Ao and Los Gatos which

00:04:33.660 - 00:04:51.500

is far ahead of its time or far behind possibly yours truly johnny Dollar stars. Edmond O'brien in the title role and is written by Gil Dowd with music by Eddie Done. Edmond O'brien can soon be seen in the paramount pictures production. Warpath yours truly johnny Dollar

00:04:51.500 - 00:05:47.040

is transcribed in Hollywood by del Valle. Beginning next Wednesday yours truly johnny Dollar will be heard one half hour later on. Most of these same states. Mm hmm. That was a star denies Ahmad Khan and starred Ahmad Khan

00:05:47.700 - 00:06:13.360

singing rag Yemen which is an evening melody and is meant to have a mood of serene quietness. And this is Katie Ao And this is indie with indian music on Tuesday afternoon From 2 to 5 and today I am going to play you a few duets

00:06:13.780 - 00:06:43.690

in classical style and to break it up listening to Katie Ao often you will have heard this time. It's Lakshmi shankar and Nirmala devi. I think people want to go on the air badly enough and we want to give them the chance to do it. That

00:06:43.690 - 00:07:00.100

we encourage a volunteer type of operation in which people take shifts from 3 to 5 hours a day To go on and do the records and do the readings. We've actually turned over 25% of the ownership of the station to a volunteers association because I want

00:07:00.100 - 00:07:12.230

them to be involved in what this station is all about. I want them to think that it's partly there's that stuff that's going out on the air because in that, you know, I think that's where the art of radio comes only I think the most exciting

00:07:12.240 - 00:07:25.290

days of radio are right now. And that's because of the technological change. The fact that FM came on the scene and is now at last succeeding in the Bay Area alone, you have 70 or 80 or 90 stations that can be heard on both AM and

00:07:25.290 - 00:07:40.520

FM. And this is fantastically important because it means that instead of competing with each other on, you know, just to do rock stations have to branch out, do some other creative things. These are the golden days of radio right now. The first murder was only a

00:07:40.520 - 00:07:54.600

mistake. The apparent moral is that companies shouldn't hire salesmen. Women shouldn't marry them. Young blonde should stay away from them. But confidentially, some of my best friends are insurance salesmen. Yours truly johnny dollar
