Aug 20-24, 2012 - Classic ART BELL Show 'Almost Live' Chats!

Post by Riddick » 08-20-2012 07:18 PM

Hey Now FFolks, Welcome to the latest installment of the 'Art Appreciation Experiment'!

FYI, we'll be using whatever's playing at FineArtStream as the exclusive source for our nitely chatty commentaries about Classic Art Bell Shows this week, from now thru Friday -

Now, as this IS a Level 3 Test, as part of puttin' it to folks' mettle for picking up the ball and running with it, I'm leavin' it entirely up to one of y'all to start things off both tonite and Tuesday at or around the hour of 8p CT - or if no one's here then, anytime after...

In any case, if it happens some appreciative soul does indeed decide to take the title of Monday's 'MC', as I have an early morning tomorrow you may or may not see me pop into the party - in any case once again to help getcha going, for some Groovy 'Mood Music' click on the banner below -!

Well FFolks, looks like Monday just wasn't anyone's day here eh?

OTOH, since I started up this thread it HAS HAD over 40 views, which isn't bad at all, except for one thing: while there's nothing wrong with simply lurking about the forum any old time of day or night, without anyone actually posting here in the evenings it's hard to have a good ol'-time retro ORR chattin' party -

But HEY! That's OK, 'cuz one of y'all has another opportunity tonite to kick things off here at or around 8p CT (or again, if no one's around then, anytime after)... if some stalwart spirit among you does decide to do so, as I DON'T have another early morning coming up I'll pop in once I see some activity.

So then, how about it here on Day 2, Level 3 all you old-time appreciators of the finer things in life... I mean, I'd think there's gotta be SOMEONE who simply can't resist havin' a Groovy Tuesday with ART BELL!

Rite now tho there's no members online besides us two... at least none I can see, it's possible some FFolks are here but don't want to be seen

Mebbe some folks will come out of hiding? -- Then we can say "Peekaboo! I C U" :D

Good question about the Firebird. Could be he sold it before moving to Manila? I'll see what I can find out...

Anahoo here's the program summary for this show:

5/13/98 Wednesday / Thursday
  • 2nd Hour.... Dr. Barry Taff, a world renown parapyschologist, will be on in the second hour.
  • India.... India set off two more underground explosions today. Korea, in reaction to India, is suggesting it may well abandon the promise to get rid of an old nuclear reactor so they can continue to produce bomb grade plutonium. China is likely to be nervous, they have several nukes stored up. Art says welcome to the possibility of nuclear holocaust.
  • El Nino.... NBC did a big piece on the unusual weather happening lately, and Art relates what's happening in the desert. A fax from a listener brings up the haze that seems to be surrounding the moon. Art wonders why the mainstream media is not reporting about the dangerous elements in the air due to the serious fires in Mexico.
  • Cat.... Art reads an update on the attack cat story from the other night.
  • Contest.... Art is initiating a "View of Benson" contest to retaliate against Cartoonist Steve Benson. On the web sight you can see the first three entries.

Btw rk, how's the stream working for you?

I tried to get it going in Real Player but it din't wanna work so I'm running off a browser window

When it works I find the Real Player to be superior to the browser window, in that I've never needed to refresh the RP stream...

Clicked on wrong picture first time. I guess I could call Carl ( AB's BIL) and see if he know if he still has the car
