The Day the Music Died

On July 15th, 2007, the CRB and SoundExchange were supposed to implement a new, draconian rate/fee structure imposed on Internet Radio stations.

For information see the following links:
RAIN - the Radio and Internet Newsletter
The Save Net Radio coalition

There is a bill before congress to overturn the CRB's new rate structure and implement a flat fee based on revenue, which Southern Fried Country Rock currently does not have. Personally, I like this option!

The RAIN site has info on contacting your Rep & Senator and the details of the bill(s).

Please make the call. It only takes a minute of your time.

PLEASE READ: Welcome Message & Usage Guidelines

After creating this monster, it occurred to me that I should probably post some usage info. Right now my weblog is set up so that anyone can post follow-up comments (click on the COMMENTS link below each entry) to any entry that they choose. And I look forward to reading your feedback once things get rolling. But please, keep your comments clean, as I have a wide array of folks reading my website, from Southern Rockers to Genealogy enthusiasts to my own kids. So I'd appreciate it if we could keep the language under control. Other than that, I don't see a need for a lot of rules. Happy Commenting!

Missing Email - the Descendants of Henry Aylor

On March 23, someone sent me an email with a pdf attached called Descendants_of_Henry_Aylor.pdf. Due to an email crash, I lost the email but retained the attachment. There are no identifying marks inside the PDF which will allow me to contact the sender, so I am hoping the sender will contact me. Please let me know if it was you.

New Release of GED2TPD

The latest beta version of GED2TPD is now available. I fixed some indexing issues, which makes the index now more complete. Check out my Vaughan mini-tree for a sample of the output. (for those who may not know, GED2TPD is a program I wrote which converts GEDCOM genealogical data into Treepad format. You can then use Treepad to publish to the web, which makes a really slick interface).

This is a Test

So this is a "blog". What a dumb name for such a cool idea. I prefer the full name, weblog. It just sounds more dignified. At this moment I'm having trouble getting graphix to work in here, but I'm sorta new to this. Stay tuned...
