new show, new blog, and a new reason to get up early...

I started with "Afternoon Tea," but it's always been a problem accomodating that Monday time slot. For some reason, it's a real trouble spot on the employee schedule at my workplace. So, I'm going to let Ashira do her thing solo-style, and take on a brand new entity, hereby known as "The City in the Morning."

The name is simple enough to explain. If you're like me, meaning that you're a Magnetic Fields fan, you might think it's a play on "The Village in the Morning." Which it is. Really, that's it.

I'm not terribly good at the whole rising-and-shining thing, especially when five out seven days, I'm probably due at work by 8 am. But if I can get to the station and start the new show at 9 am, then I think you can reach out your arm, turn on the clock radio, and tune in. If you tune in via computer, this might be a more challenging matter.

I will be playing much of the same stuff I played on "Afternoon Tea," while shying away from strictly pop stuff. It's a grab-bag type deal, complete with 45s and LPs, and giveaways (mostly mixes from my personal library of music), but also possibly in-studio guests.

I am on the air as of this Thursday (April 3) morning. So tune in!
