Editor's Note:

 

Here I sit on this quiet Wednesday nice moist green spring morning listening to some Benny Goodman jazz from our radio station. Ah, the world at peace  -- until I start reading my incoming e-mail. Oh my, the sky is falling. If I had invested heavily in producing a movie, owned a big full power radio or TV station, I may agree. I'm a bit smug as our non profit FM station operates on a small amount of money from sponsors or underwriters and our premise is that we like to think we are well received for our programming - even if only one person listens! I'm also feeling very good as I received a renewal of our station license for 8 years. I hope the world, or I will be around in 2013 so that I can reapply for another 8 years of broadcasting. (Yes - I'll be 79 then!)

 

Here is a portion of the item from John Podhoretz of the New York Times that kicked off the bit above:

http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/46203.htm

 

"May 10, 2005 -- THE mass-media melt down is happening everywhere you look - from the multiplex to the newsstand, from late-night television to drive-time radio.

 

* Hollywood is in a panic, because for nine weeks straight, box office grosses have been lower than last year's.

 

There are compelling individual explanations for these phenomena. For instance, this year's movies have been extraordinarily uninteresting. And the collapse in newspaper circulation may simply be the result of more honest reporting on the part of publishers chastened by the public exposure last year of fraudulent numbers at papers like Newsday and the Dallas Morning News. But it can't be a coincidence that the five major pillars of the American media - movies, television, radio, recorded music and newspapers - are all suffering at the same time. And it isn't. Something major has changed over the past year, as the availability of alternative sources of information and entertainment has finally reached critical mass. Newly empowered consumers are letting the producers, creators and managers of the nation's creative and news content know that they are dissatisfied with the product they're being peddled."

Swallow Hill is proud to present the first TommyFest West on Saturday, July 9, featuring who legendary guitarist Chet Atkins called Òone of the greatest players on the planetÓ: Tommy Emmanuel. However, we are not presenting only one Ògreat player,Ó but two! Tommy Emmanuel is joined by another guitar wizard, Pat Donohue.

 

 This festivalÕs gonna be smokinÕ! Tommy and Pat will be offering a guitar workshop at 1 p.m., in which they will share their coveted secrets to making magic with a guitar. At 6:30 p.m. the stage will come alive ÐliterallyÐ when these monsters start playing.

 

 So it happens that Tommy Emmanuel came from Australia Ðwhere he is, in fact, a household nameÐ, with his fame preceding him. With four platinum and three gold albums and many awards that spanned four decades of music-making, he set the standard for others to emulate.

 

 Critics describe Pat Donohue as a Òmasterful guitarist and talented singer-songwriter of the blues, folk, and jazz.Ó Winner of several Minnesota Music Awards, Pat won the National Finger-picking Championship at Winfield, Kansas in 1983 and has been a featured performer in many music festivals including the Telluride, Philadelphia and Newport Folk Festivals.
