RE: Swingin' Doors, 1/28/99
Well, this is unlike me, but I'm gonna have to praise Don Yates. And in public, even. Swingin' Doors is a great show. It's fun and I always learn something. Plus, it's interesting to see the P2 threads of the week unwind on Don's show. Last night, as I was driving home, I heard Don do the Jimmy Day tribute set, and it was a wonderful thing to hear after reading Joe's incredible tribute. Anyway, Don, keep it up. Even if you do keep playing one sappy recitation per week, I can take it. Jim

Grr.--don Just some food for thought from a new webcast listener -- I actually prefer sites where the shows are archived, as it give me much greater freedom in which programs I choose to listen to. Just as an example, I'll never hear "Swingin Doors" if KCMU goes live, because I listen from my computer at work and Don's on at night. If I tune in during the day (at least to a site w/ multi-format programming), chances are I'm going to get a show that I'm a lot less interested in. Currently, I can go to archived sites and get the show I want when I want it. Any chance of having archives as well as the live feed?
