Thanks for link Dennis, I'll look into it. I am looking at all my options for a new p2p net. BearShare turned out to be more trouble than I was willing to tolerate and I dropped out of the p2p world for a long time...but now I am looking at it again. Could have something to do with my new 120GB hard drive having more space for sharing. heheh

Got this site from an article in today's NYTimes. A repository of sound clips of radio station DJ's from around the country...50's through the 70's (with some 80's)...maybe there's something here that will rekindle an old memory? nytimes.com Radio Patter From the Past: Vintage D.J.'s Rock On By MARC WEINGARTEN THE disc jockey's voice, oddly compelling, comes booming out of the computer speakers as if shot from a cannon. Although the man has a honeyed Deep South accent, the manic pace of his verbal fusillade makes it hard to decipher everything he is saying. After a furiously enthusiastic pitch for "The Omega Flour Cookbook," which "don't cost you one red copper," he cues up a record: "Hey, here's a record that's getting hot, man: `Booted,' by Roscoe Garner!" Clearly, this is no corporate automaton serving up market-tested demographic bait. It is a 1953 recording of a legendary Memphis disc jockey, Dewey Phillips — one of nearly 1,000 radio recordings, or airchecks, to be found at www.reelradio.com In addition to regional disc jockey legends, the site offers excavations like a 1974 broadcast from KQV in Pittsburgh featuring one Jeff Christie — who later reinvented himself as Rush Limbaugh. There is an excerpt of a 1972 morning-time session with a precocious disc jockey at WRBC in Jackson, Miss., named Bob Pittman, who went on to help start MTV and is now chief operating officer of AOL Time Warner. reelradio.com
