Ultimate Twang Radio Show, 3/27/14

March 20, 2014 Edition Of The World Famous Ultimate Twang Radio Show

Greetings from Asheville, where we have completed yet another edition of the World Famous Ultimate Twang Radio Show.  This week’s edition, as it almost always is, was an ecclectic mix of country gold from all eras, going as far back as 1927, this week.  If you have yet to listen to the program, it’s three hours of solid classic country music from 2005 on back to the beginnings of country music.  It comes your way, live, every Thursday at 4p ET, online at the Asheville Free Media website. Just click their name to go there.  If you can’t catch the live edition, simply go to the Asheville Free Media Ultimate Twang page, scroll down and 1) Click listen to listen via Windows Media, ITunes, etc., or 2) Look for the gray play button below the list of dates, to simply listen directly from the site.  And, there is also an encore performance of the show on the station, beginning 9a ET, on Monday.

Thanks to you, Ultimate Twang is the most popular show on Asheville Free Media, with nearly five thousand listeners!

And don’t forget, next week’s show is a special show, as we are going to play all songs that have yet to air on Ultimate Twang.  Amazing as it seems, after well over two years, there are still numerous hits that have yet to make an appearance on the program, and we’re going to play some of them.

The World Famous Ultimate Twang Radio Show For March 20, 1014

Greetings from Asheville, where much is going on, so much so, I’ve hardly been around to blog!  I am back, though, with a diligent attempt to keep some new content, here, about classic country music, my online radio show, an occasional classic album review, and who knows what else.  Speaking of the show, a new edition is up, today, beginning at 4p ET, at the Asheville Freemedia website (click Asheville FM | Community Radio).  If you’ve not listened, before, it is 3 hours of classic country music, commercial free (except for a few vintage ones thrown in), all pre-2005.  And if you can’t join me for the live edition, you can go to my Ultimate Twang page, there (click Asheville FM/Ultimate Twang), anytime beginning Friday morning, and listen via the archive.  And, there is also the encore performance, heard on the station, beginning Monday at 9am ET.

One more thing of note is that Asheville Free Media has had their application for a low-power FM signal approved by the FCC.  We have now begun a fundraising campaign to raise the needed funds in order to get the equipment and get it operable.  If you’d like to make a donation, just click the following link, AFM Power The Tower, to donate any amount.  Ever dollar helps our goal of reaching the city of Asheville, NC, with the best community radio!
