Live weather forecasts are part of the show. In this picture
Greg is reading the forecast from a computer screen off to his right. The main
control board can be seen at right in the photo, and the two record turntables
can be seen at the back of the photo. Of the two computer screens on the right,
the rear screen reads out the status of the control board, and the screen
towards the front handles digital music and also public service announcements.

Doing a live weekly radio show involves intense concentration.
In this picture, Greg is checking one of the three computer screens used during
the show to set up a block of public service announcements.

Music comes from three sources: LPs, CDs, and digital files.
All music used on the show has been collected personally by Greg. LPs are still
used as some vintage historical recordings are only available in that format.
The show is structured so that the same recording (LP, CD, etc.) will not be
used again for from three to six months. No "Top 40" here!

Record keeping is a necessary part of the show. A playlist is
kept of all tracks that are played. This is used by ASCAP, BMI, and others to
determine royalty payment to artists. Listeners often e-mail Greg asking about
a particular piece that was played on the show.

In this picture, Greg is choosing a piece from his digital
library. One piece can be previewed (cued) while another one is playing on the
air. The left computer screen reads out control board functions, and the right
screen displays the music library and is also used for playing public service
announcements. The two CD player screens (blue) can be seen in the background
at right.

In a rare free moment, Greg turned around for this picture,
surrounded by the equipment in the studio.
