Aye, that I could, indeed. I be thankin' ye!

There are a lot of St. Paddy's Day songs and that makes for a great example of an extra playlist to try out. The problem will be with the compiling. I'm reasonably sure Wayne can do it automatically, but I'd have to choose & add them one by one. Maybe he can compile them & I can take out the ones that don't fit the category. It's worked before.

I'll just snag a copy of this banner & put it somewhere reasonably safe, so it can be uploaded to the homepage images folder when the time comes.

Meanwhile, the Xmas stream comes down today if the controls are working again. The banner may not change, but if things go well, we go back to the "top 1000". He'll change the homepage banner when he gets the opportunity.   ....There, done.

Could ya be usin' somethin' like this Matey?

Stavro Arrgolus:

For that matter, now that I have control of these things, there can be streams for other holidays as well. Specialized banners will be required, of course.

Which would you like to hear most? St. Patrick's Day? 4th of July? The possibilities are endless.

I'm guessing it's only a matter of time when the audio shows on the site would be closing up. I might consider resurrecting my show under a new title using Creative Commons only material like I did in 2008.

If that's going to happen, he'll have to re-code the admin 'show research' feature a bit & remove the red 'available in music store' notation that goes on the scripts.

And if that sounds more like a reminder than a comment...that's because it kind of is.

While I'm at it, I'll note here that the Xmas stream (which is working again) will come down in a couple of days. If you can't get enough of randomized Xmas dementia, better listen to it now.

Well, I guess Stavro will have to stop saying "It is available in our Music store".

I'm sorry to see it go but I understand under the circumstances. Was giving free downloads of your Creative Commons songs a bad idea that led to almost no sales of the song downloads from the mp3 store?

I've had to make a difficult decision. Effective January 1, 2018 the MP3 store here will be closing. The fees involved are over $450 a year and in 2017 we only sold 12 songs for a total income of $0.60.

All commissions due to the artists will be mailed by January 15th.
