"Fun" fact is that I constantly confuse Popol Vuh and Arvo Part's names and often speak about one when meaning the other.

Good Evening, Jeff! I-Phone/Apple microphones are surprisingly good. It's cool that you and other WFMU DJs are doing your shows remotely. Station Manager Ken (during his program) sounded more than a little freaked out about the DJ's ability to continue with their shows during this Pandemic. Thanks for still being on the air if only temporarily displaced.

Last song on the album. Always good luck.

Hey Jeff... may I ask which program you used to record this? I just bought a Yeti USB microphone--arrived today--but haven't set it up yet because I'm simultaneously dealing with another work-from-home-issue (I'm a public school teacher and remote learning starts tomorrow).

Bobby friggin Vee? Wow ...
Avatar 11:21pm Jeff Conklin:

Yup, from his 1972 country rock record, WHICH IS FANTASTIC
Avatar 11:22pm Jason Elbogen:

Ok, cool, I know audacity pretty well. You just recorded off your soundcard directly I guess? But did you use some kind of mixing program to cue up tracks? Or did you just drag them all in beforehand to make a large file?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:23pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Bobby Vee, the guy who put together a show to replace Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper, who died in the plane crash en route.
Avatar 11:24pm Jeff Conklin:

@Jason: For digital tracks I just dump them in Audacity. For the vinyl, I have an external soundcard with a line out from my amplifier to rip the vinyl..

@Jeff reading the question about recording, did you make one large audacity file? Didn’t see the answer.
Avatar 11:41pm Jeff Conklin:

@ethan: Jesse Colin Young

@PMD: Yes I combined digital tracks, mic breaks, and vinyl rips into one track. FLAC file.
  11:44pm PMD:

@Jeff. Wow. Thanks!
  11:49pm pp:

That Jesse Colin Young song Together sounded like a more sedate version of Tommy James & Shondells song She, which goes off in a swirling, psychedelic chorus on the word Together.
