I thought it might be cool if we could share links to some of our favorite radio stations.

Here's one ... a public radio station based out of the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in western Michigan. Great classical and jazz programming.

And another, based here in Connecticut. Click the "listen" link and choose your player. The old-time jazz on Saturday evenings is outstanding.

Any others we might enjoy? Thanks!

I have a bunch saved to my Home Mac in Indy.

I'll be sure to add my $0.02 when I get back home! Great thread!

Looking forward to trying them out Sal, thanks.

Ken Nordine's Word Jazz is on tonight (Sunday) at midnight Central Standard Time on Chicago Public Radio, WBEZ.

If you've never listened to Ken's program, it's an experience. You've almost certainly heard his voice, as he's done an enormous anount of commercial voiceover work. Ken's a great Chicago guy, definitely getting up there in years now ... I've met him in person a couple of times and spoken with him several times on the phone. Talking with him on the phone is a real treat ... it's like being "inside" one of his radio programs.

You can check out a sample of his work here: www.wordjazz.com

Thanks Gihgels. I'll check 'em out!

Much to my disappointment, my Blue Lake radio station out of Michigan is offline for a few hours this evening. I was looking forward to "Jazz from Blue Lake."

I like the old crooners and big band sounds of the '30s and '40's. I was able to find this site, http://www.surfmusic.de/format/big+band.html, and am listening to some station called KCEA right now ... it's nice!
