It's safe to go back in the water, folks. Pledge Drive is over. It's too early for totals, but not for thanks. So, thanks to everyone who made a pledge. And if you didn't, it's downright fashionable to be late. You can contribute using PayPal here.

And if you made a pledge (or didn't) and want to send in a check, our address is 2101 S. Main St., Little Rock AR 72206.

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Pledge Drive Postponed Again

Yet another techno-glitch at the transmitter makes it necessary to put off the pledge drive for at least another week. Tennille tells me the signal is about 85% recovered. Stay tuned.

Pledge drive starts next week

KABF's Spring pledge drive was scheduled to begin today, but yet another part required replacement earlier in the week, which took us of the air for a short spell, which requires we slowly bring our signal back up, which means we're not yet reaching the hinterlands, which means the pledge drive has been postponed. As you can see, everything about 88.3 is connected and it takes an extremely long run-on sentence to explain the simplest snafu.

In any event, we hope you tune us in next week and pledge your support to your favorite show(s) if you can afford to do so.

Signal still punky

Both the stream and the broadcast signal remain rough. Bear with us.

Power Rising

KABF's signal was lost early this week and Tom, our intrepid engineer, had to install a replacement part to get us back on the air. As it takes awhile for us to come back up to full power, distant listeners may be having a hard time picking us up. Rest assured, we're on our way back. In a few days we'll be totally back to normal (or as close to normal as we can get, anyway.)

Random Thoughts

I think I am queen of random thoughts. I believe that is where ADHD comes from. I mean, come on, everyone is diagnosed with that stuff these days. Can we really be a society full of Attention Deficit people? Are we all that way because we have been inundated with too much. Is it boring if it is not glitzed up, sexed up, hyped up? Are we really that lame?

Ok, random thought disorder kicks in and I have to ask, has anyone noticed all these damn little gnats all over the place? I do not remember an influx of these things in the past. They are all over the place. Of course, I am sure it does not help that our doors have been open for hours at a time because of the remodel going on. Still, I see them everywhere I go. Maybe they follow me. Maybe I am like that peanuts character "pigpen" (was that his name?) who was always enveloped in a cloud of dirt and debris, wherever he went. Hmmmmm.

Diana (Blue Monday) is being a jewel for Friday's Blues House Party this week. She is going to sit in for Larry & I. Larry is still sick. I am wrapped up with getting ready for about 100 people here on Saturday. Good luck Diana and I know the rest of you will enjoy.

New music coming in the blues cabinet. Since we have a new lock, I feel comfortable putting some good stuff in there.
