This week’s Blog Post has some news in it that does affect the Acoustic Alternatives brand. We’ll get to that.

First, as I type I am looking forward to catching up with Willy Porter at Grove Studios. I have an immense amount of respect for Willy and admire his talent. I’m going to be using real cameras on this session and moving it to the Deluxe Studio at Grove because he’s bringing friends and there aren’t enough microphones for that many people in the podcast studio!  It should be ready to see and hear next week if I am lucky.

Up next is this week’s YouTube playlist.  It’s brought to you by 20 Front Street.  Additional sponsorship opportunities are available, so contact me if you are interested.

Finally, the radio show on WHFR.  The final edition (for now?) of Acoustic Alternatives will be this Thursday July 21^st.  You can stream it, try using the Android app (an Apple app has been in the works for a year) or use TuneIn.  I hear you can train your Echo Device to play it too.  I’ve secured a new job that I start shortly thereafter, so I will no longer be on staff at WHFR. I am grateful to General Manager Susan McGraw for giving me the opportunity to serve as Operations Manager there and it was fun returning to the airwaves for almost a year.  I may be back on the air somewhere in in the next six months, who knows. I’ll keep you updated.

That’s it! Enjoy your weekend!
John
