Hi,

As I write this, Zoom is having a network problem.

We use Zoom to broadcast our programming.

We’ll begin as soon as the networks problems are corrected.

Hi Everybody,

We use to broadcast this program on YUSA.? Below is a note from Mike 2,

??????????????? If you want to talk about a labor of love, this would be it. Here's the 1978 version of 'The History Of Rock & Roll', produced by Drake-Chenault and distributed to radio stations across the country. Fifty-two hours that follows oddly enough 'The History Of Rock & Roll'. Roughly ten years ago, I set out to build the 'perfect' digital copy of this and other versions of this iconic show. This is the first installment and widely considered the best. Fifteen plus years ago, an open reel copy of this mega-special was distributed on Usenet. Fans of HORR were ecstatic! There were some audio problems, most notably crosstalk and a loss of fidelity that was most likely an issue from the duplication center rather than the reels themselves. So, in order to do this right, a total of four LP sets were purchased through the years at values of $750-$1250 a pop, and that was just the 1978 version. Not cheap, right? Transfers were done meticulously with a Nagaoka MP-500 cartridge and stylus to reproduce the audio as intended, and all major clicks were corrected by hand using a spectral editor. So while this took awhile (even longer due to family obligations), I'm sure you can relate.

These files will be huge as they were recorded in 24bit/192k wav format. This is the closest we can get to analog in the digital realm. Raw and restored files will be in the set. It has been a labor of love that I am happy to finally share. There are other versions that will be added in the future, but most fans of this broadcast have called this one the best. I agree (for the most part).

If you weren't a part of the original fundraiser for the project, you can donate now for a minimum of $65. Just send funds to my PayPal at: corey.harker@.... Please use 'friends & family' when sending.

Thank you everyone!

Hi,

On Valentine’s day, we did a Friday night show.? The problem was that in a Windows Update that morning, Microsoft changed settings on my sound card.

I should have checked to be sure we were on the air that night but, I forgot to do so.

We later found out that we did a show lasting 2 hours and 22 minutes but nobody heard it outside of the zoom room.

Tonight at 8:05 Eastern and 5:05 Pacific, we’ll play that February 14 show and then go live into the regularly scheduled Friday night show.

We hope you’ll tune in early to listen to us on both Yesterday USA red and blue.

Hi Everybody,

You might recall many of you help us over a year ago to raise fund for a new audio studio with new audio gear.? Our audio guy Mark has found some good deals and we will have the new studio up next month.? We could use some help.? We will be spending a lot of money quickly to make this happen for YUSA.? Take care,

Hello,

For the past few days the yesterdayusa.net website has been having problems.

For now, you can go to yesterdayusa.com for basic use of the links.

We’ve tried the site and it does work.

Stay tuned America is the only link not working right now.

This will allow you to hear both red and blue streams.

The station can also be heard on some but not yet all of the third party apps.

We’re still working on that with this new server.

Hello,

We talked about this ceremony in Bits Chat last night and I was asked to put information about it on this list for those who may want to listen to the ceremony which is live streamed and available on Youtube.

As a Disney Retiree, I’ve sung in 17 ceremonies as of this year.

?

Today December 8 2024 is the second and final day of our Disneyland Candlelight Choir Ceremony.

I think Disney World's continues for the rest of December.

The Disneyland Candlelight Ceremony began in 1958 and was an opportunity for Walt Disney to Thank all the various companies who supported Disneyland.

Today, The choirs all process down Main Street holding electric candles and we sing Christmas Carols as we walk by the assembled audience.

The Church, School and Community choirs numbering around 500 people stand on Riser around Main Street.

The Disney Choir stand up in the Christmas tree on risers and I'm proud to have been a Disney Choir member for my 17th Candlelight Ceremony this year even as a retiree!!!

We sing with a full Orchestr and a Hand Bell Choir.? Our narrator is usually someone from television or movies and believe me over the 66 years of the Ceremony, we've had all of the super-stars from those media.

The narrator brings the Christmas Story alive each year during the four shows. Two of them are on the first Saturday in December and two on Sunday.?

People gather four and five hours before the shows just to get a good seat which is free with your park ticket for that date.

If? you want to hear examples of the Ceremony, visit Youtube.com and search for 2024 Disneyland Candlelight Ceremony.

You can find Disney World's up there as well.

Usually the full live streams are up there for both nights.

Candlelight is a ceremony I look forward to each December and as long as I can walk and sing, I'll be up there in the Disney Candlelight choir.

Hello,

We have an update today and that is that the YUSA webpage will now play the new server links.

Third party apps such as tune in and OOtunes do not work as yet.

John

Here’s a quick update.

For those listening on ACB Media three, it is now back up and running.

Usually OOTunes and Tune in are pretty quick so try them in a few days.

Keep using the provided YUSA links. I don’t think the web page is working yet.

?

John

?

?

For those listening on ACB Media three or the Victor Reader Stream three, the credentials need to be updated.

This may take some time.

Please be patient and use the links provided for now.

HI,

Unfortunately the old server was shut down earlier than planned.

With the REPS Christmas weekend coming up, this is not good news.

So, be sure to copy these links for YUSA streams beginning immediately.

?

YUSA Blue:

?

YUSA Red:

?

The REPS Christmas weekend shows will be streamed on Blue and Red on This Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:00 Eastern and 4:00 Pacific.

There will be a 90 minute break in between shows so that the live guests can eat dinner.? When that happens, we’ll go back to automation for that time and then start the stream again at 10:00 Eastern and 7:00 Pacific.

John
