MONITOR BEACON

[ABQRADIO]

Well, now I have heard something truly unique - the Monitor Beacon on Wavjazz.net. Pretty cool. :-* AC Tones, Where did you get that - from http://www.monitorbeacon.net/sounds/Monitor_Beacon.mp3? Or another source?

Can't take the credit for that one, ABQRADIO. Well, I'll take partial credit for it since it is my station. But that one came courtesy of my wavjazz.net partner in crime, and longtime RI buddy, majaman78. Mark's input over the last 3 years has been invaluable in helping to keep the programming tight. He has a GREAT ear for this music, almost as good as mine. ;D I am grateful for his friendship, and his contributions to the station (monetary and otherwise). And if he does not agree to step up and pledge his assistance in the 11th hour, I might not be on the air right now.

Funny story about the Monitor Beacon. majaman78 slipped that one under my nose, and when I heard it for the first time, I said, "WTH is that?" I thought the SoundExchange police were shutting me down! He shared with me its origin and place in radio history, and as quirky as the thing sounds, it slowly started to grow on me. It probably could stand to be about 20 seconds shorter, but we can work on that. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks again for listening!

...or did someone get the Monitor Beacon confused with the Monitor Theme by Buddy Rich...
