Song of the Month(s)
We thought it might be fun to make available some of Bob's old catalogue songs, concert performances and occasional rarities.
Check back here monthly for whatever's next!
The sound file is in mp3 format, sampled at 24 Kbps because spoken word stuff simply doesn't need big-time fidelity!
Bob's Notes for May-June 2007:
This time I'm deliberately doubling up for May and June. Most of
the time when a Song of the Month hangs around for longer than one
month, you're right to conclude that I'm simply overwhelmed and
behind. However, this time I'm posting a twenty-plus-minutes
interview and I figure that's got to buy me a little extra time to
leave it posted, right? Terry Phillips hosts
a weekly Saturday night program called The Archives on WJTL-FM 90.3 in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. Terry plays three whole hours of classic
Christian music beginning at 9:00 PM Eastern. On May 5, 2007 we
spent about a half-hour on the phone talking about a variety of
subjects, but with a fair amount of emphasis on the recent release of First
Things First. Terry was kind enough to send me a CD
almost right away and I've converted it to a 24 Kbps mp3 file.
(For the more geeky-interested among you, most of the time mp3 files ... or the AAC files used on iTunes ... are sampled at 128 Kbps. The higher the sampling rate, the better the fidelity. Although mp3 files and other forms of compression have revolutionized music delivery in our time, it's also driving serious audio engineers nuts because any compression scheme begins to affect the quality of the sound at a certain tipping point. However with spoken-word audio or radio, a lesser sample rate works just swell and makes for a much smaller file. Alright, enough of that.)
Anyway, here's the interview. Come July, I'll
post some more music.
Thanks for checking in here every once in awhile.
PS: The best way to listen to this thing
is to right-click the link and choose either "Open in a New Window" or
"Open in a New Tab".
That way you can listen and still goof around on this web site or
elsewhere. Efficient time-wasting ... that's what we're after
here.
