Tonight was a milestone technologically speaking. This marked the first time since 9/28/02 when Echolyn was in our studios that we had had a live performance in studio. Scattered Planets, a space rock outfit from Philadelphia, PA was the first to test out our new equipment and studio out. It was a major success. The 4 piece featured Doug McMahan on Synth/Programming/Vox, John Cecil Price on lead guitar, Cyndee Lee Rule on Violin and whispers, and Jeff Nutkowitz. Amidst the damp weather and torrential downpours outside, Scattered Planets made the best of the tight space, but sound wise through the monitors, made up for 2 and a half years of frustration of NO performances. What delightful spooky, hypnotic sounds came out of our airwaves as we were attacked by the Gagliarchives 'INVASION FLEET". We liked it so much, we'd like to have them on again down the road. Our program peaked listenership during the middle of their performance, but the highest was during the feature of our top discs of April with a 165 listeners. bonight's program ran 4 Hours and 3 minutes.

Another day of exploring in the Pines. Today we trekked to Harrisville, just north of New Gretna and walked the ruins of the one time famous paper mill of the 18th and 19th century. The day started at 9am, and met many great people. We later trucked down to Martha Furnace, another prominent Iron town, and shot some great video. Got a chance to hang with some baby squirrels. Visit NJPinebarrens for more information. The show began with King Crimson and the new remasters. We also featured the new Bruford remasters. Utter pieces of beauty. Personal favorites hands down. Tonight marked our highest listenership of the year. We started the show with 165 online listeners. We peaked with Porcupine Tree's new album Deadwing with 169 listeners at 10:30 and held steady and peaked again at 12:45 during our feature of Horacee Arnold with 165 listeners. I was pretty sore on Sunday. But the trek in the Pines, the music selection, all worked out tonight...........I was very happy leaving. You get shows like that once and a while. We welcomed new listeners tonight from Plano, TX; and Tel Aviv Israel. Tonight's program ran 3 Hours and 57 minutes.

Steve Tibbetts Rules. His magic came into St. Mary's church in Philadelphia. It was a collaboration with the Tibetan Buddhist nun Chöying Drolma and percussionist Marc Anderson.. Although my photos were fuzzy...this was the least of my problems, and realized later it caught the atmosphere of the night. CLICK HERE. Unfortunately, as I got in my Jeep and headed eastward to Pemberton, I tuned the station in. J started the tape early, and, never rewound the full interview of Scott McGill and Bon Lozaga. Boy did I hear it. At any rate, after losing my jeep window to aged deterioration, I rushed to the station before the DAT could shut off. Once we got to the station, the stats were in. A higher that average listenership. We had 145 listeners in the first hour, we had 148 in the second hour by the time we featured Trance Of Mine. We ultimately hit 160, the best all season, at Midnight. Tonight a lot of great pieces were played. Derek Sherinian's Planet X, Grotesk, Finneus Gauge, and other classics that have been favorites over the years. We welcomed new listeners tonight from Fort Howard in Baltimore, MD; overseas in Sailsbury/Stonehenge and London England.. Tonight's program ran 4 Hours and 3 minutes.

One of the first warmer days of the year. This show marked my return after an awful flu. The well wishers sent great messages through the course of the week. Thanks to all of you. It's nice to be missed. On with the show...We replayed a segment of our interview with bassist Jeff Berlin. This was a great interview. Unfortunately the weather was awful tonight, with torrential rain that lasted 22 hours. The road to the station was a nightmare. We gave tickets away to the upcoming Dixie Dregs/Steve Morse Band show making their way to Olde City this Thursday night at the TLA. I will see you all there! We received a great email from Pete Sinfield after we aired the Still album:
> HI Guys,> > Thank you for this... You make an ol' hippy very > happy... Keep up your fine work,> > Very best wishes,> > Peter Sinfield.

Our online listenership peaked at 10:30am with 135 listeners when we aired the Dixie Dregs and their performance at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia took place in 1979. We welcomed new listeners tonight from in Orono , ME ; Schnecksville and Bensalem , PA; and overseas in Rio De Janeiro Brazil . Tonight's program ran 4 Hours and 6 minutes.
