Here’s the recording of last night’s 7.4-hour-long Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA), ready for you to re-enjoy. I had plenty of material to go the whole time, but I had to go home and sleep a little before the Mendocino Women’s Choir. They put on a great event and I got a good recording. I’ll play some of that on next week’s show. Anyway:

…

Thanks to Hank Sims of Lost Coast Outpost here’s a page with lots of other MOTA shows going back quite a way. And thanks to the Anderson Valley Advertiser, which often provides as much as an hour of each of these shows’ most locally relevant material, going back decades. And consider KNYO, the Little Lion in Fort Bragg, California. Find KNYO’s shiny red donation heart and help out if you can. All of your help, whether in the jar on movie night or through the heart or by check (to KNYO, p.o. box 1651, Fort Bragg, CA 95437) goes directly to pay the station’s real-life expenses: rent, electricity, water, equipment, and music publisher and streaming fees. No-one at KNYO gets a cut of that money, not even the manager. Also the first hour of each MOTA show now is on KAKX Mendocino too, thanks to Marshall Brown who runs the media tech department at the high school there. Another project Marshall Brown makes possible is SnapSessions.

Coming MOTA shows can feature your story or dream or poem or kvetch. Just email it to me. Or include it in a reply to this post. Or send me a link to your writing project and I’ll take it from there and read it on the air. That’s what I’m here for.

Besides all that, here’s a fresh exhibit of not-necessarily-radio-useful but worthwhile items that I set out for you, mostly found in the fine websites listed to your right:

Traveling flame discovery. It starts out with lighter fluid in a small ring, but by about nine minutes in, the question becomes: How large would a ring-shaped forest need to be to sustain a continuous forest fire going round and round forever, growing back up again behind the fire, ready to burn again?

When my mother was a real estate saleswoman in the L.A. area she won the office sales trophy every month she worked there. With three tricks: 1. Go to the house a couple hours before the potential buyers’ appointment and bake bread in the oven. 2. Bring your cute little boy to sit quietly drawing or reading or otherwise playing while you show the house. And 3 –actually this is first: Go to the lighting store, buy a chandelier or two, just really fancy lighting fixtures, get up on a chair or on the dining table and install them. If the buyers bite, leave the lights there. If no bites, take the lights out and get your money back, or put them in the next house. I remember there was always at least one chandelier in the trunk of the Oldsmobile (which is what I thought of every time they open the trunk in /Repo Man/). After my mother finished with real estate and married Roland, we had that last real estate chandelier for years. It was a gold-painted potmetal mesh cylinder with light sockets inside, with the wire going up the chain, and it was hung all over with a hundred faceted glass teardrops the size of a Kennedy half-dollar. Every time we moved, and we moved every year, twice one year, some more of the teardrops got lost, and I would rearrange the remaining ones to make it look on purpose, like rearranging eggs in a carton as you use them, to keep it balanced. I don’t know what happened to that light at last. It had a kind of kitchy magnificence. Another thing like that, that followed us everywhere, was a pink modern-art ceramic elephant with a three-inch hole in its back to keep pencils and scissors on a desk. And a green glow-in-the-dark plastic model of the Seattle Space Needle from the 1962 World Fair.
