Radio Station?

Marsha keeps asking me about my radio station. I did have one but for right now it's down! It's all a part of a website called Live365.com. Basically what it is is a place where you can have your own radio station! You can put music on it and you can put your voice on it and if you have a powerful computer you can even broadcast live! There are a lot of people that have radio stations on this website and some of them do broadcast live. There are all different kinds of radio stations - everything from all types of music to talk and interview shows. Basically how it works is first (of course) you have to sign up for it and download their software (to help you upload the music to their website). There is a fee of (minimally) @$50 every six months. The more popular your station is the higher the fee. It may seem complicated but if you want to have your own radio station this is about the most simplest way to do it. Basically what I did was have music in mp3 format and uploaded it to my radio station. Once its confirmed that the upload was successful that means that your music is on your programming. When you upload more music you can decide what order you want the music to be in. Now as for my voice basically what I did was record my voice to my computer using the simple voice recording program. Once that is done I can add effects or even music in the back ground with a little editing. And then I transfer it the same way that I would with the music. And there you have it - instant radio station! There is even a message board at the website where you can ask your questions and get answers and read posts from others that are new at it.

Powell Funeral Home!

This is the funeral home that did my mother's service. I chose them because they were the same funeral home that did my father's service more than 20 years ago! Imagine using the same funeral home without even talking to them in 20 years (in fact I didn't talk to them those 20 years ago because I was quite young and quite out of it at the time of my father's funeral).

Well as it turns out I had NOTHING to worry about because my mother's funeral service was absolutely beautiful! The service (including the music) was just like a inspirational church service and that includes the sermonizing by the pastor who presided over the funeral.

Even though my mother's funeral was a few months ago I kept saying to myself (and to one of the staff members) that I was going to mention them in my blog. Of course I hadn't gotten around to it until now mostly because I was down there today and I was telling them how memorable my mother's funeral was and that made me remember about how I said that I was going to mention them.

I'm going to put their full information on my blog. Talking about a funeral home might seem creepy to some but this one did an excellent job!
