![]() I really like it, I think I might revive it. I have to find out what they actually did on that show. Featured stars from Paris, I guess! |

![]() Paris Star Time was a regular program on the 1959 WFMU schedule. I'm thinking of changing the name of the show. |
Sun. 7/22/12 1:18am
Matt from Springfield:
Surface Noise is so ideal! If Paris Star Time would be revived, it should focus on progressive, advanced recordings from the late 50s era, like Raymond Scott electronica and John Cage pieces. | |

![]() Maybe you're right, Matt. There was another show called The Bible. I could call my show that instead. |
Sun. 7/22/12 1:23am
Matt from Springfield:
"The Bible: "King" Joe's Version"! :D | |
![]() |
![]() Ha ha! Either that or I could call it "Classical Moderne." That was another one. 1959 was a hot year on the FMU schedule! |

Droll:
I like the show name "The Bible". Every show you could spin the small tablets with the big holes until the sand runs out of the half-hour glass. The segment could be called "Monotheism File". | |

Matt from Springfield:
Ah, how wonderful. Not only did that represent great new beginnings and possibilities for this station...but EVERY timeslot was available! Would never be less crowded again! | |

Matt from Springfield:
A station-wide diversification program? Seems to be popular to shake it up a bit nowadays. | |
Sun. 7/22/12 1:43am
Matt from Springfield:
From I can count offhand, it seems you had 4 main beds before: 1) the organ based instrumental of the Rascals "Groovin" 2) the jazzy guitar and flute 3) the gentle harp (or autoharp?) 4) the synthy beats and melody with the "slide" effect All are good, but adding some beds can make this mix even better. | |

Matt from Springfield:
Then of course, the Kevin Ayers! Always keep that after SF, and to close the program! And, of course...the Yip Yip Martians at the beginning! | |
