Happy Fourth of July (Independance Day)

Well, I've been remiss in not getting a podcast out sooner, but finally got one done today.
It's the Ghost Riders at the Sprotsman's Tavern from a couple weeks back. The recording turned out really good and I hope everyone enjoys it. It's the first country music I've featured and I won't pretend to be a Country Music expert, but I know what I like, and I like these guys music.
This is the first podcast I've put up that really shows off the new recording gear I'm using. I recorded four tracks and had a ball being able to play around a bit with tweaking each track.
I did a recording of Peter Case (also at the Sportsmans) the same way, but unfortunately, haven't got approval to publish it yet. (He asked to be able to review the recording first.)
The Sweatin' Like Nixon podcast also used the new recorder, but I only had two tracks to work with. (Two mics.)
But anyway, I have the podcast all done. The file is uploaded to the host. (Libsyn) and I'm in the middle of editing the blog entry at the wnypodcast site and apparently, I've broken the Internet. All of a sudden, everything is going either very slowly, or not at all between here and the server.
Other sites are working, - hence this post - but I'm sitting here inches from the finish line to posting the podcast :-)
Some previews of what's in the works for the Buffalo Live! Music Podcast:
Thought - a really talented group of musicians based in NYC, but all from this area. They played at the Rhubarb Picnic I caught Sweatin' Like Nixon at and I want to feature them soon. I do need an interview, but we're going to attempt a telephone interview soon. A BLMP fisrt!
Toy Box Heroes - I don't remember where I first heard of them, but had been checking their music out on MySpace before I met them at the Music Is Art festival. They invited me to do a podcast of their CD Release party at Club Infinity. They're energetgic (understatement) stage act with a hard-driving rock sound. I expect these guys to go far!
Gravity Thieves - I met this band at the Memorial Day picnic that Scott of
All WNY Radio put on. They played a great set and have allowed me to put it in a podcast.
John & Mary with The Valkyries - Another show at the Sportsman's. They played there as a rehearsal for their show at the Great Blue Heron Festival and I finally got to do a podcast and interview with them. I've been a fan of theirs for years. AS you may know John was a founding member of the 10,000 Maniacs and both he and Mary joined the band after Natalie Merchant left. They later went back out on their own and have decided that sometimes it would be nice to have a band to play with on some shows. The Valkyries is the answer to that. They're already in their (at least) second iteration. (I know Geno McManus worked with them previously.) Every member in the band is a established local musician, so you can even call it an all-star group. This will make a really neat podcast.
Well, it looks like the logjam to the main site has cleared, so I'd better get the podcast done!
