It&#8217;s one of those post-rain sunsets when the fire isn&#8217;t from the West like normal but from the East, South or sometimes even the North depending on the clouds. This evening&#8217;s fire is from the South.<\/p>\n<p>The view required some tunes so I attempted to dial up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pandora.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pandora <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/\" target=\"_blank\">Last.fm<\/a> but the sites were either acting up or asking for registration. It&#8217;s at this point that I remembered an old friend, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wdetfm.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">WDET<\/a> in Detroit and the overnight DJ <a href=\"http:\/\/profile.myspace.com\/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;friendID=74103855\" target=\"_blank\">Liz Copeland<\/a>.  Admittedly, I&#8217;ve only listened to her show less than half a dozen times over the last few years but I&#8217;ve always enjoyed it.  I never became a regular listener due to the midnight to 5 AM hours but I would peek in from time. This evening was one of those times. It&#8217;s was still early for her show but I checked in none the less only to discovery that her show on WDET is no more. Programming <a href=\"http:\/\/www.organissimo.org\/forum\/index.php?showtopic=33360\" target=\"_blank\">changes<\/a> in April of 2007 replaced her with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/worldservice\/\" target=\"_blank\">BBC World Service<\/a>.  I like BBC programming but it will never replace the late night musical gem that I used to trip over to every year or so.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m off to discover where Liz might have landed.  Oh and &#8220;Myself&#8221;, if you ever stumble across my little blog, thank you for turning me on to Liz and the WDET that I remember.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sitting on the porch this evening with the laptop and a beverage admiring the sunset.
