IWMA & Veterans Day

Big debut this morning! I've been working super-hard and today is the first 3-hour Western Air Waves show that is totally separate and unique from the usual M-W-F programming that is on Mixcloud and M &F on WROE-FM. Not only that, it's a special episode highlighting the recently announced AWA finalists as well as IWMA nominees and scheduled performers at the convention coming up next week - Nov. 12 - 16 in Albuquerque. This is a star-studded show! Plus, there's a special cowboy church segment, info about Dena Wood's NDXpress radio distribution service, and two new releases! The IWMA convention is the place to see and hear many of your favorite western music and poetry performers! What a thrill to hear them all year long on the radio then see them up close and personal, performing the songs and poems you know from the radio!

Tune in to www.partycentralradio.net in real time from 11 AM - 2 PM EST (convert to your time zone so you don't miss it). Or tune in to www.hall-of-music.com on Wednesday evening from 5-9PM EST. Not only will you hear songs and poems, but commentaries about each artist like AWA and/or IWMA nominations and/or where to find them playing at the IWMA convention. For some artists there are so many accolades I didn't list them all, but feel secure that all artists, whether finalists, nominees, or simply booked to perform at the IWMA convention this year, are extremely talented and represent some of the best the genres of western music and poetry has!

If you don't know what the IWMA convention is, go to www.iwesternmusic.com for a full agenda and information of how to register, who is playing on the day stages (free to the public) and/or buy tickets for the ticketed night shows.

*This show will be archived on Mixcloud after it has aired in real time.

If you are an AWA finalist, IWMA nominee, or scheduled IWMA convention performer and you don't see your name on the playlist, it's most likely because I don't have your music or poetry! Email it to me (PM if you need the address) or give me a hard copy at the convention! not sure if I have your work? PM me to ask! Note: I will continue to spotlight IWMA convention performers throughout the upcoming week.

Wednesday's show is here. Tune in. Over the next month, I'll be letting folks know how I will handle the expansion onto the stations giving me 3 hours of broadcasting time, however, until I find my rhythm with the new software the 3 hour shows will be an expansion of my three regular weekly shows - M,W, & F, adding a half hour to each to reach hours 1, 2, & 3. As always, I will try to do my best to be fair in my representation of artists with broadcast quality songs and poems, however, if you think you're being forgotten or overlooked, message me and remind me. I suddenly have a lot more names to juggle.🙂 My overall purpose is to promote western music and poetry via radio and get your work heard!

Here's Monday's show! For the moment, I am going to keep trying to stay with my regular MWF schedule of on-demand shows, and post a recap of my Sunday shows as an archive for those who missed it. The Sunday shows are not on demand, so you have to tune in when they are happening! I could also split up the Sunday shows to post each hour on M, W, and F, then run it as a whole on Sundays. Does anyone have preferences? Input? I'm learning as I go, so come grow with me!
