Another "too many media" Fail. The Horse Rants. I will keep this short and simple.

I was playing bass along with jazz music from an NPR Sacramento CA radio station tonight. I heard a beautiful tune I wanted to learn. The DJ mentioned the name of the musician and the album, but it was too quick for me to catch. Later in the broadcast, I heard the announcer's name. I Googled that name, so I could give the guy a call and ask about the album. I found him. But there was no contact information, so there was no way I could ask him what album I want to buy. A good musician lost a sale. A good DJ (also a jazz musician, I learned) lost an interesting conversation. Is something wrong here?

It seems to me that lately people are talking faster and are not pronouncing well.

Or am I getting old?

@marguichaThat's me in a nutshell. My sister and I almost got in a fight over it and I know why, I try to talk to fast because its what the world teaches now be fast or get left behind.

@crossbones27 Can't we just express ourselves? And listen as well?

Probably media, what did that have to do with it? People have a reason. Some are bad Marketers but that kind of sounds like he does not want to be found.

@TheHorse Fair enough, he will find you, I think that is how people like him work.

I might have donated to the station. I might have bought a jazz album that they were promoting. But neither will happen now.

I could not find contact information. I'm sure I could get through if I wanted to donate money (which I have done in the past).

Many people don't make contact information easy to find so that they don't get a lot of calls.

@TheHorse i worked the grave yard shift, when I actually started taking callers people were shocked. Before that the DJ played music. no calls.

So who was the DJ/jazz musician? Does that station post a daily playlist?

I forget his name now. I looked it up but didn't write it down. I was wondering that too: maybe they have a playlist.

That goes back to the days of 70s FM rock, when they’d play six 18-minute songs in a row, then expect you to remember the song in the middle that you liked.

I remember those days. Fondly. But I WAS able to find the album that had ELP's Lucky Man on it (an FM staple in the early 70s). I can't remember how.

Did you try to contact the DJ? If you call the radio they can surely give you the title of what they played, they must keep a record.

I think I've heard that tune before. Maybe they'll play it again.Then I can write down the time (if they don't mention the Name) and see if I can find a playlist.

How frustrating. Hopefully you will hear it again one day, sooner or later. I take it the radio station doesn't have their playlist on a website or anything like that? Can you send a message via the radio station?

I bet they DO have a playlist. But I can't remember the exact time I heard the tune. As you say, they will probably play it again.

You have to listen to NPR to hear jazz music? Are there no jazz radio stations where you live?

Our national station lists all the stuff they play over the day so you can check up on any of the pieces. But yes, it's a shame they don't take a bit more care with giving out information.
