Show tracks for Sat. Oct. 10/09

First show back after two pledge drive shows. Thanks again to all who donated their time and money to CJAM.
First show on the new 99.1FM frequency. A concerted effort on my part, after saying 91.5 for 20 years, I only managed a half slip. I caught myself before I said it all. We'll see how next week goes...lol
For the big news, the announcement you all have been waiting for....lol What is new with Cowboys & Indies? I announced last night that after an anniversary year of special broadcasts celebrating 20 years of music on CJAM, that Cowboys & Indies Rewind will keep that celebration going. The new special edition show will celebrate the musical history of the show as well as the music that influenced it. First edition will be coming very soon. I hope to have about 1 a month. The normal Cowboys & Indies show will remain the same brilliant show it's always been.
Busy show as we've been in pledge drive mode for 2 weeks. The albums have been piling up. we took a look a three new albums. As well as a bunch of new releases!

Show tracks for Sat. Oct. 3/09 Pledge Drive Pt.2

Well, it's official 91.5Fm is off the air. The party last night was great. I think we all realize now how great 99.1FM will be starting tomorrow (Wed.) at noon.
The pledge drive appears to have been a success. The final totals are not in yet, but they seem to indicate that we got very close to our goal for 2009! Thanks to all who pledged at any point through this year's pledge drive!
Sorry for the delay in posting but it was an end to a hectic couple weeks of radio.

So I was thinking what should me first song be on my first show on 99.1FM? I have a couple ideas, but if you have any feel free to post them here before this Saturday. If I pick your song I will send you a free cd or maybe 2.

Well, it seems that the crap email service I use has lost all my drafts. So I can't update the tracks played on the last weeks show. It was the second pledge drive show so there wasn't as much music played as normal. If I can recover them I will post them right away.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
