Out of a crappy music scene a ray of sunshine

One of things that sets HazzardAyre does is being open to new upcoming artists, and giving respectable airplay to new music.

We don’t just pull from one label, or music label, but anything that sounds good.

Problem is today the artists coming out of the major music factories isn’t hardly worth calling music.

If one cruises over YouTube, you see the comments about new music stinking against true artists.

The artist that I’m introducing you to, this morning is one, I caught a glimpse of one night watching RFDTV. One of the few shows on FamilyNet that’s worth watching is Virginia Dreams Center Stage.

There are many good artists there, but up stepped this little teen, that belted out notes like she was like hearing angels singing. She was not out of step once.

While I’d like to hear do some rather up tempo pop tunes, her renditions especially of a Olivia Newton John hit, Let Me Be There, just bowled me over.

Not only can she sing, she ain’t bad looking either.

Her manager emailed me two songs that we started playing Monday evening. Up to the time I had to shut down, to do repairs on gear here, the phone lights were lit, many of you asking who she is.

I’ll shoot off an email to her manager to see if I can get a bio, to put here on the blog.

But dang can this gal sing. Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift move over, the next queen of Country music , is Emma Leigh.

>>>>>>>>At only 16 years old this gal is kicking booty over many cover tunes and her own music, can you say CMA, can you say Grammy?

Hope to have Emma out for DukesFest West, next year.

Until Tuesday afternoon,

Why on Earth?

Okay then, got a confirmation from our Nurse GoodBody saying she’s got some big things to tell me at our coffee date, Tuesday .

Hope it ain’t that she’s moving or married some other guy. Both would devastate me right now.

Over the years, I have met scads of women, both professionally and personally. I have worked on tons of media related projects with ultimate models and not so ultimate models. I have fell in and out of personal relationships with some, and never wanted to pursue others.

Of all of them our Miss Nurse GoodBody, is one I’m proud to call a friend and you might say wife without privileges.

Not only is she super hot looking in all ways, frail in some ways, but she’s the most loving, gifted , and intelligent women I have ever met.

If there was an example of thee angel from Heaven she’s it.

When she first called  about auditioning at our station in Gooding, I requested she wear nylons. The test I give to all new applicant. Not only was there not 200 questions of why, how come, that’s sick nothing like that, only inquiry, stockings or pantyhose? When she got to the studio, I told her what we had in mind and all, no hesitation, what so ever. Off came the boots and it was toew frenzi. How often has that happened? only 2 times before, but nobody ever filled my heart like Ellie May.

When Jims Repair ripped me off for $700.00 for work done on LexiBelle, and me dumping every cent I had into the radio station there in Gooding, plus waiting on a check from both SAMCRO MC and my cuzzin Bud, that the Gooding Post-Office lost somewhere never to be recovered, Ellie May, took money out of her own checking account to assist me in paying that bill. Who else would do that.

When we started recruiting more help, it was Ellie May who got people to the studio. Wish one hadn’t since by now KDXC FM would be firing on all cylinders by now. One big gal from Kimberly had to put the skids to things and convinced Ellie May to back out. Thing is even so, Ellie May and I have held together a more than usual friendship.

What’d blow my sox off , is if she said she wanted to make the gig a bit more tight. Waking up every day to her, would be like standing at the feet of Jesus.

Okay then enuff of that.

I wonder how on Earth, there are so many idiots on the road. Many people I see every day , say yes I know what you mean. Thing is they too are doing some of the same idiotic driving that I’m talking about. Driving slower than traffic speed. Talking on a cell, or texting, although against the law in Twin Falls, they still do it. There are so many violations I can’t list them all in a blog posting. But dang it, don’t turn off brain when you turn on the key. Use your head. I know its not brain surgery, or rocket science either one most of these uneducated imbasles couldn’t do, but driving? Hey your not in a hay field, or on a farm. This is public traffic.

I’d like to see Idaho implement the same idea that Utah is working on, have a skills test with every other license renewal, and remove the 4 and 5 year renewal periods. Utah is going to go back to 3 years none CDL, and 4 cdl . But both will require a skills test. A competency test will be required of all drivers over 60 years old. That’d get some jerx off the road.

Then there are those people, working in retail. Most are there for a pay check unlike the many that we have at A1 that love their jobs and profession. I went into Radio Shack at the Magic Valley Mall. The guys there had no idea of what I was looking for. Glad I did, and where its put, as I have that entire store mapped out in my head. The replies from the guys there, oh we don’t care, I work on a farm and do this for extra bucks.

I can remember years ago here in Twin Falls, a guy named Dave was the manager at RS out on Blue Lakes, not only did Dave know his products , he knew his customers. He knew what area of the store you were going to in the store b4 you ever got there. If it was something you needed wasn’t in stock, he searched for it. Not just vin a catalog or that, he called every area store first then the factory.

He understood, your needs, and if you were doing a show or charity gig, he’d donate product . The year we had our CB/Trucker Jamboree the First Hazzard Nationals in 1975, Dave donated 30 cb’s, antennas and such for us to resell to raise money for a kidney transplant, for a club member. Try getting that at the MVM’s RS today.

Any way break over, I need some grub then back to work, but again at times I just have to scratch my head and ask, Why on Earth?

On Ellie May , hope I get a hug Tuesday.

L8R Ya’ll

What LIVE at 5?

What LIVE @ 5, on KCTF 45? Seems as though maybe Mike over there, is ill, so they just ran a half hour of the clips, and ads, but no local news.

If it’s a case of no one willing to replace or sub for Mike, I wouldn’t buy that, as my name and phone number is all over that place so, hey it is what it is, and like I always say, aren’t you glad and aren’t you blessed to have HazzardAyre.

Okay then, its been a wet and windy one. Snagged an over turned horse trailer, thank God nothing inside, except furniture. So after picking things up came back over here to do battle with A1 and my duties there. Thing is by the time I got home, I was too pooped to pop, laid down, and was out until 16:30 so got up trucked over to Smiths, got grub and am doing editing and producing for the show tonight. Oh how grand it would be to have in house on staff Production assistants. Maybe in a year, some of the self righteous head in the sand arrogant feminitiles will decide that a pay check is better or outweighs their fear of having their virtue or lack of it, violated.

Which gets me to a quick point. I get tons of emails every day from both fans and just supporters of what we do here at HazzardAyre, as well as on WyldAyre. Not just the music, but in the effort to preserve old time radio with southern confederate family values and thinking. Where radio IS the entertainment choice, and so on.

Many of those emails, are from back east , down south of course, even from other nations of people willing to move here, and do our 60 prospect projects and then be hired. Both genders, mostly women. Yet for the damned of me I am not able to fully understand or comprehend why, the gals, especially one from Filer that we have been courting for 4 months now, wont even make a point to even step in. Really? Is our area that stuck up?

I once asked our Nurse GoodBody why they don’t have something like the Sundance Film Festival here, say in Sun Valley or Twin here. Now I know. Somebody any body could try to cast roles in an indy film, but if the reading or audition was in a room or private home, the response would be , “Oh no, don’t go in there, the wicked are in there” I say phooey, follow the yellow brick road, find the gingerbread house before you discover the mushrooms, and pull your heads out.

The line from Forest Gump really applies here and its anywhere southern Idaho. Stupid is as Stupid does. Which applies to the way people drive here, turn on key turn off brain, to stretching beyond that comfort zone, come to the Wolf’s Den, sit in on a show, and see if you might could be some of what propels HazzardAyre to grow. Not that we are not growing already. The new ratings came out today. HazzardAyre, is number 2 among confederate conservatives ages 35 to 60 , both genders.

We have been nominated for a Grammy, and an Oscar.

And this is what 4 gals were scared to be part of? Maybe gals ya’ll ought to re-examine your thinking. Our Angel from Filer should look to stepping in rather than stepping out.

Any mile, headed to the Mall for some connectors for some new gear to get installed and will be on air Tuesday into Wednesday, we’ll be off since we’ll be installing new gear.

Our Rose of Cimarron

First this morning, as my brain drains to hit the rack I’m convinced there’s a gremlin, that steals my graphics from my computer. Seems every time I look for a pic, it moved. So got to go redo it, then come back and try to remember what I was going to blog about.

Okay then, met someone over the weekend, no not that kind of meet, so get that outta yer heads, but a devoted fan of things Hazzard. Mainly Enos. Without giving anything away, will tell ya’ll things I usually don’t need to repeat but for the benefit of my new friend I will.

The club, The Knytes-of-Anarchy was created in 1982, as then, the Hazzard County Knytes(Knights). The clubs name came from melding Hazzard County with the name of a popular movie at the time, called the Hollywood Knights. Both the Dukes and Hollywood Knights were of the anti-establishment, fight the system attitudes as well as a movie and TV show for us gear heads. Substitute Hoggs Hamburgers for Tubby’s Drive In and ya’ll get the idea.

The club was originally created by 15 loyal and dedicated gearheads that loved the Dukes, and loved building cars,trucks,bikes and showing them off without the super polish and inspection that show rides who went to the ISCA World-of-Wheels series car shows. The club was also started I hate to say as a slight tax shelter for the then just opened real life Hazzard County Garage(now Hazzard County Choppers). I assumed the nick name of Cooter, since my life was mirrored by actor Ben Jones, on TV. Ben also did a brief shot as a revenuer in the Dukes pilot movie MoonRunners, of which I have a copy of.

Over the next few years , getting anything in or on our local media about the club was and is like pulling teeth out of a skunk, can be done but it sure stinks and you get bit a lot. So the club said to hell with that, and fired up its own radio station originally as KTOW but retired the call letters this past summer and took on the call letter KDOH, AM 10/90. KDXB FM 105.7. Bringing in many radio things the rest were scared of. From Dr. Ruth, to WolfMan Jacks Saturday Night Special. We did it. Not to be mean, but we believed in progressive radio.

Over the years the Hazzard County Knytes prospered, and grew from at first the original 15 members, to 100, then 1,000 to well over 150,000 members world wide. Mostly as associated members of most of the Dukes fan clubs which we were the original thereof combined with a group of kountry gearheads. In 1999, the love of old classic tractors got in the mix, mainly of those in green. So the club added a sibling called; the Deere Dazzlerz Association that had as President , famed head coach of the famed Utah Jazz Jerry Sloan, until we retired the sibling in 2007.

In 2000 after discovering some restored Corsairs in Jerome, the Hazzard County Knytes, created another offspring, called; The Hazzard County AyreWolvez, that remains today. Then in 2003 with the rise in popularity of custom big bikes, and with the birth of our shop, the Hazzard County Choppers Klub, was given birth. Remains as the owners of Hazzard County Choppers, Custom Shop, here in Twin Falls. Then in mid 2008, our President , Fred Roster of McCall Idaho, passed away. A examination of the strength of the club was conducted, and the decision was made to rework the club, but retaining our Hazzard County roots. At the time, the officers had a fast meeting in Glenn’s Ferry Idaho, we saw a TV show called the Son’s Of Anarchy, reworked it and the Knytes-of-Anarchy was born. Mostly because we who are devotees of classic old big rig over the road trucks and tow trucks, concluded that we are like bikers, only we have more wheels. But make no mistake, The Knytes are still today the most devoted Dukes-of-Hazzard fans and enthusiasts that you’ll ever find.

As I head for bed once again, our new friend, is a publicist by trade, and I asked her to be mine as well as that of HazzardAyre.

Well I’m off, going to go read my bible then snooze, reading 2nd Corinthians, 6  verses 10-16.

Until L8R

Then there’s RFDTV and FamilyNet.

 

As I put the byrd in the hangar, I watch RFDTV.

Now here’s the rubs. RFDTV, declined our offer to feed their wallet with the statement that we would not measure up or meet their requirements. Yet I see, offer after offer, that has worse than we ever thought of. As far as programming, chute, HeeHaw is about inline with things Hazzard County, so what gives? My opinion? Some jerk over at CH-11 , make no mistake we win anyway. But here’s the rest of this.

Seems as though at least to me, they run what 5 newscasts, mostly reairs of the same thing they put out at 07:00 in the morning. Except for a few stock reports, the rest is the same newscast, over and over and over again. Then after the one we see at night at 21:00, which ends at 21:30 they run fill in stuff that is pure junk. My opinion and I could be wrong, but its my guess, ole Patrick at RFDTV bit off a bit more than they could chew with FamilyNet, that for two months they bitched about CoX Cable pulling the network off of their system. But it’s the same tired TV. How about the Dukes on Family Net? Then there’s the Marty Stuart show. Both the host/singer and the show are so old now, I try to avoid the program.

Then overnight its infomercials. I got a great idea, put on something better with bite overnight , say; oh I don’t know, maybe HazzardAyre TV?

Should I go on?

Now on the local front, the local station that runs RFDTV/FAMILYNET, has only one newscast, at 17:00. How about filling in that 21:30 block with a nightly new news newscast? Supposedly they are a LPTV that’s true, they say they are none profit, but run ads anyway.

In closing; with all the turmoil of what you see and hear locally, aren’t you REALLY glad you have HazzardAyre?

The best websites and blog sites are the ones that are free, and aren’t complicated to navigate

Yes it’s April. And in the late 1950’s my mom delivered a force beyond comprehension, naw its just the month of my Birthday.

My only wish, get kozy with a honey, over a good meal, some wine and of course some serious wampum with somebody I know and trust. Wouldn’t it be great if our Nurse GoodBody decided to at least do dinner?

Maybe more time with toes in hose. Her’s are the best I have worked with okay. naw its not a fetish, but hey I like it. Science says the toes and feet are the most erogenous zones on the female body. Needs more exploration.

Okay then looking up a thing online for some on air content, happened upon a thing called; Open Salon. Okay fine. They wanted me to sign in, but no direction on how to register for an account.

Then there are those sites that haven’t been updated for two years or better. Except for a few concert dates, music stars sites are rarely updated, even then any time a site is tuff navigating, I just go elsewhere.

When I started writing for the Knytes, I got turned onto Blogger a Google product. I haven’t looked back. Hey I’m no wiz bang tech geek, but that’s the point. If you turn wrenches and toew for a living, your not going to always be a computer jock. While I’m still looking to getting a web builder here that has one idea of what we are trying to do and will do it cheap and not with a bundle put down, still I want the Knytes site to be near as possible to goof proof as possible, as Facebook, and of course Google is. Likewise I demand that HazzardAyre Radio’ site is ultimate, that will play, no matter what speed that viewer’s computer internet speed is. This has been the challenge in building our site. Its not money necessarily, but it is to be as close as to perfection, as it can be. Anybody want to swing at the project?

So as I close as 06:30 comes early, the best websites are those that load quick, are free of flaws, updated on a regular basis, and last easy to navigate. It’s a thing of, the KIS(Keep-It-Simple) rule.

L8R Ya’ll

still need gals with small toes in hose for our website pics. email ayrewolf@gmail.com if interested.

Let me tell you of a product rather service that keeps its word.

In this era of frustrating dislikes of companies that promise the moon but only get an altitude of 200 feet, and consumers pissd off at everything , its refreshing to find a company and product that does what it says. Not more , but certainly not less.

While I’d like to see much more stability in my connection as in maybe 15 megs, its not speed that is the key in Internet, but bandwidth. To look at it, think of trying to flush a bunch of water from an irrigation pipe through a garden hose. Sure it’ll get there, just not as much but not as fast. Thing is too many people online, too little space for signals to travel. But I’m getting off track.

I had driven past this place on Blue Lakes here in Twin Falls, for months. The company used to be Teton WireLess TV, should ought to get back in that business, as it’d give Cable One the craps. Any mile, the company is called SpeedConnect, and it runs like clock work. None of the issues I had with prior versions of their products, and speed? You bet. Although if something gets in the way of the receiver it goes off for a quick second, but there’s enough fidelity that I can watch TV most of the time, and run the radio show via YouTube and all that I now wonder why I never chose these guys before, at least in the current configuration.

The people at least the ones I worked with in setting up were great, they take cash at the office, so no big deal in paying my bill as it is with Cable One, and unlike Cable One the claim of 50 megs, naw. But at least I’m getting what I pay for.

When we go full tilt with HazzardAyre, I’m looking to run SpeedConnect, there as well as here at the house. Just hope they can give me a bit more stability, might need an outdoor tower and antenna.

But its still refreshing to find an Idaho company that is excellent, rather than the usual. Plus dig this, I only pay $50.00 a month.

If your looking to make a change in your Internet connection, call SpeedConnect at 866-297-2900 ext. 145, you’ll be glad you did.

Oh and I was not paid to write this, as it’s a real honest product evaluation testimony. SpeedConnect, just works, and really isn’t that the real intent of common sense?
