WI George Harrison fans
"Rock and Roll Roots" on WKLH in Milwaukee is doing a feature on George Harrison right now.

1. "Rock and Roll Roots" is a phenomenal show
And is one of the rare instances these days of hearing actual CD's and LP's on the radio, instead of poorly converted, low bitrate MP2 files.

Radio stations do not play CDs any more. It is all off the hard drive, which is one of the reasons why radio sounds so horrible these days. Over-compressed music broadcast over over-compressed signals. It's horrible.

A good example was a few weeks ago. Steve Palec playes a few rare Buckingham/Nicks songs, off the out-of-print LP that was never released on CD, and likely not loaded up in KLH's hard drive. The sound was unreal! Just amazing.

Too bad the Prophet automation software system only recognizes MP2 files (last I heard - any current radio types can correct me on this). Just sad. If anything, it should at least be 192kb MP3.

2. You got it.
Steve Palec just played a brief clip of "Give Me Peace On Earth" without the slide guitar, then the finished version.
