We'll know more soon

I'm in New Jersey mixing a CD this week, and I found out about this change Monday morning, the same time everyone else did. I don't have a lot of information at the moment, and it's not my place to make a public statement about it in any case, but I can assure you it's a good deal more complicated than it might appear.
I've been working with these people at Rhino and the new DeadNet for several months, and I believe they have great respect for the music and the community. It hurts me to read the violent and venomous posts I've seen from some people in these pages, although I can understand why folks are upset. I agree that it's a bummer the change was made abruptly and without explanation, but I trust that there is a reasonable explanation and we'll hear it soon.

Keep it up and keep it spinning, Dave.
You and I are quite aware that longevity, necessitates that patience becomes a second natured virtue.
I'm glad I have all the wacky tunege one man needs on them 10 inchers that I can throw on the ol' 3340S there over my left shoulder when things get goofy in the ionosphere, or the new fangled fobs and knobs of today hit the rough patches in Glitch Road.
And in closing: I know you don't need to hear this, but much appreciation for this... here.

Twilight Zone or What??

Thanks for your quick reply David ...
I'm actually stunned by the sense of entitlement and all of the negativity ... the "All or Nothing" attitudes that have surfaced on the tapers section posts. It is interesting that some of the most venemous postings are from people stating that this goes against everything that this community stands for ... well, so do the assumptions, ultimatums and personal attacks that comprise these posts. It has been encouraging to also see some cooler heads prevail (such as yours). I guess it's natural to "assume" cause and effect, when a change w/no explanation occurs. ... I couldn't help but think of an old Twilight Zone episode ... life imitates art and vice versa!
Oh My God!! I only have a closet full of GD CDs and Cassettes !!! ... I guess I'll continue to listen to 'em while I await another official release to purchase!!!
Thanks again.
KGNU Boulder/Denver Sponsors Deadhead Party in Denver

From Tie Dyes to Ties and Back: A Denver Grateful Dead Party for KGNU's $1390 for 1390 campaign!
Hi all,
I'm a Denver Deadhead who wears a tie to work but still has tie dyes in my closet... I'm also a Board member on KGNU. We host the Grateful Dead hour each Saturday at 7:00 pm (hear us anywhere at www.kgnu.org, 88.5FM Boulder, 1390 AM Denver). Our recent expansion into Denver inspires this party! And by the way, we'll have a six-hour Dead special during our membership drive Saturday evening, October 20.
So come to my party to meet local Deadheads, learn about KGNU and the Dead, enjoy some microbrews, finger foods and a special brew from Amsterdam. I'll even cut off your tie if you'd like. My whole family room will have rare Dead artwork on the walls. Bring your favorite noncommercial Dead concert recordings so we can put together a collection of 20 Dead CDs for anyone who pledges their support for the $1390 for 1390 campaign (that's $58/month over two years). Bring a towel for a dip in our 8-person hot tub after dusk.
Thursday, October 25 56:30-8:30 pm in southwest Denver. Phone 303-895-5937 or email deadhead@kgnu.org to reserve your space and for directions.

Show #1000
On October 20th, 2007 dgans said:
I'm still working on the plan for #1000.
Program #999 will be a sampling of CD projects I've had the privilege of working on - GD and Garcia boxed sets, the Persuasions' GD album, etc.
Program #1000 will include a wonderful interview with Mickey Hart, talking about the early days of GD music. Not sure what else yet.
Dead Air on WNCW 88.7FM/www.wncw.org
On March 23rd, 2008 canyonshark said:
Greetings from Spindale, NC (Hub of the Known Universe),
I couldn't help but notice that A) WNCW's long-running, locally-produced, Wednesday night Grateful Dead music program (also named Dead Air, oddly enough) doesn't seem to be represented on the Grateful Dead radio forums and B) since I don't seem to be able to create a new forum (can someone contact me on how rectify that?), I'm hopeful our friend David Gans won't mind me intruding upon his forum to mention its existence and our upcoming pledge drive.
As WNCW's General Manager, I feel a "slight" obligation to do so. Please forgive me.
WNCW's Wednesday night GD programming kicks off at 9PM Eastern with David's The Grateful Dead Hour, which leads into four hours (10PM - 2AM Thursday) of Dead Air with longtime host, Uncle Dave, bringing you the finest Dead he can lay his hands on, as well as music from other bands that keep the spirit of the Dead alive.
If I was to lead you to believe that my posting of this information had nothing to do with the fact that WNCW's Spring on-air/online pledge drive starts next Sunday morning (and runs through Saturday, April 5th), I'd be lying. WNCW is proud to keep the music of the Dead on its airwaves (and streaming online) and looks forward to the enthusiastic support of Grateful Dead fans worldwide. We hope you'll tune in weekly and show your support of not only David Gans' Grateful Dead Hour, but also the four hours of Grateful Dead music (Dead Air) that follow. Whether you pledge online at http://secure.publicbroadcasting.net/wncw/pledge.pledgemain or give us a call between 3/31 and 4/5 at (800) 245-8870, we'd love to add your name to the growing list of those who support WNCW and hope to keep the music of the Grateful Dead - and the music they spawned - alive and well both on-the-air and online.
Thank you for the opportunity to bring this to your attention. We now return you to your regularly scheduled forum postings, which are already in progress.

Tune in, turn on, but don't drop out. Public radio needs you.
Recent Airing

Hey !
I was listening via KBCS (91.3fm in Seattle area) and heard the recent Bob/Phil/Mickey show. Your audience copy was a bit better than the one I found and I wanted to thank you for airing that.
Politics, shmolitics, they played some really wonderful music that night.
Thanks!
