"SWINGIN' WEST"- Mike Gross

Post by Mike Gross »

THE FIRST WEEKEND IN SEPTEMBER A HURRICANE CREATED DAMAGE EFFECTING THE WVOF-FM INTERNET STREAM. CURRENTLY, REPRESENTATIVES OF APPLE ARE WORKING WITH FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY COMPUTING & NETWORK SERVICE PEOPLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. PLEASE BEAR WITH US AND RETURN LISTENING WHEN THE STREAM IS WORKING AGAIN. I WILL POST IT ON HERE. THIS DOES NOT EFFECT THE RECORDED SHOW OR THE FM BROADCAST OF THE LIVE SHOW.

Let's hope for all of us that they can get you back up and running world-wide again.
In the New England and NY area Mike can be heard on WVOF 88.5FM from 1-4 Eastern time.

Jack and Don,

You guys and your wonderful recordings are really appreciated. Let's hope that the station will be streaming again really soon and that I can have you both and all my other Internet listeners back in the listening audience.

Let us all hope that it is resolved really soon.

Jack,

Thanks for the bump! I sure wish that the world can hear today's show, especially, as it is all PSGA oriented. I have you doing "Farewell Party." At least southern Connecticut can hear us at 88.5 FM from 1-4 this afternoon.
Again, I want to remind all that you can hear my one hour 24/7 recorded show on line any time all month long. If you haven't heard it yet this month it is a salute to Spade Cooley. Our buddy, Jody Carver does "Oklahoma Stomp". WOW!!!

Mike Thank you,what I would like is a photo of all of you so that Rick can place the photo's on the beautiful web site he designed

My playing of Oklahoma Stomp is by far not equal to that of the great Joaquin Murphey, but I do appreciate it.

I have never met Jack and I wished I could, I have met Don, and never met Rick and yet I think so very much of all of you.

Thanks again.

Jody,

Thanks so very much for the bump. Your versions of "Oklahoma Stomp" are also classics. Never sell yourself short.

Feel free to lift my mug off my web site with a right click of the mouse on any of the hundreds of photographs in the photo album section of www.swinginwest.com.

Jody,

There is a nice picture of Don with you and me on my web site. If you can't find one on there of Jack I can scan one of his CD inserts for you.

Must get out to the radio station.

Jack. Mike, Don, ha sounds like a good trio
anyhow and it is Image, I have taken your photo's and sent them to Rick, he is a busy guy, so give him a few days at the most and your good looking mugs will be on the site. I have always asked Mike not mention my age when he plays my music, I cant disclose that, but I was born in 1929 and look like I was born in 1899 Image

Thanks to three of the nicest people on this Forum and it our good fortune to have Mike with us.

My Best to all of you.

Chuck,

Thanks so very much buddy for your kind words on the streaming problems. It has been too long! It is always my pleasure to play your fantastic songs on "Swingin' West." It is a pleasure to know such a wonderful songsmith.

I sure wish that we could make Ruidoso this year but I did St. Louis instead. We will cross paths somewhere,amigo, and it will be very much my pleasure.
