    Test 5 - What Happens When You Try To Wing It?

    I love doing tests.  They strengthen the soul, they speak true clarity, they help us find our center. 

    My next test was to see what type of blogtalkradio™ host I was.  Doing a radio show is not something I would have done on my own.  It was something I did in support of a greater effort.  Now that I've done it though, it's under my belt like many other experiences in my life.  What I choose to do with that experience will be revealed in the future at some point.  Every thing that I have been brought to learn has usually been so that I may pass along my experiences to others. 

    Today I decided to throw myself in the pool without ANY floaties! :D  I scheduled a show very last minute on a Saturday (a day when most people are out and about) to see if I sank or swim.  It was an important test for me as it verified a few things I needed clarity on regarding the energy of a show.  I scheduled the show for a full 90 minutes, which would allow me to catch the next BTR show I wanted to listen to.  I did it with only 20 minutes to spare.  An odd fact I found out was if you call in too early, you get a strange cycling message.  It asks you to press "2" to go directly to your show, but when you do it keeps asking you the same question again and again and again.  I hung up and decided to wait until a time closer to the show and worked on my playlist. 

    I had no idea what the show would be about.  I knew music would be involved.  Usually I feature inspiring quotes.  As a matter of fact, I had a list of gratitude quotes I was saving for another show which I hadn't worked out the music to match yet.  I didn't want to take the easy route though.  I decided to wing it with the music and found myself uploading new songs as the 5 second ticker ran off.  To my amazement, after a refresh of the switchboard, they were ready to go! 

    I started out with dance music and just verbalized my feelings for the songs.  It worked really well, that freedom to not think at all.  My sleep apnea has a way of frying off brain cells, so thinking on the fly successfully is a big deal to me.  As I moved into different music, I decided to tell some jokes.  Upon listening to the show later, I realized they didn't turn out as horribly as I thought (I'm no comedian).  Towards the end of the 90 minutes, I did the self-indulgent thing and played my favorite four songs that I start the day with every day; the songs I love to sing which bring love and light into the very first minutes of my day. 

    I was a bit surprised when they finished playing.  The hour went so fast.  I ended the show with Imagine from John Lennon.  The experience answered many questions for me; not just regarding what I love, but the energy of the moment. 

    I loved the show, but I deleted it afterwards.  It wasn't because it was a test, but because I like having a theme running through my shows.  That is the point of having a show - to edify others.  My little 90 minutes test really only edified me. :D 

    When life hands you questions, here's a great way to get clear.  Do something that pushes your own personal boundaries.  There is an amazing clarity that comes from all four corners of the world and the ethers!

    Test 4 - How Many People CAN Talk At Once?

    So I'm sitting here waiting for a file to pop up for the archives so I can download it and delete it.  It's a silly little 30 minute thing we did on a moment's notice after hearing LanderLove play her guitar on her radio show.  It sounded really good.  So the next question was, can one person play a guitar in Washington State while another person sings in Virginia Beach and still be in synch?

    I suppose it would have helped if the person in Virginia Beach had given the person in Washington State some time to listen to the music.  Heh.  It was really just a test to hear what happens. 

    What happened was the cheesy little phone I call in to blogtalkradio™ with couldn't handle the vocal part, so there were a lot of blank spaces.  I could hear the phone blanking out, but wasn't sure what that meant.  I probably should have kept it on speaker and left it on the desk. 

    Now that I've had a chance to listen to the file, it's clear that the two things can't be heard at once.  The vocals did come through the phone, but the louder of the two inputs is the one that overrode the other.  So, doesn't look like jammin over blogtalkradio™ is going to work.  Well, that's what the test was for.  :D

    Test 3

    Test 2 didn't go off as well as I had planned.  That was one show that got trashed pretty quickly after I listened to it. 

    Test 3 went much better, but I wrote a script for the entire show...word for word.  A MUCH easier, better experience.  I MUST remember to drink water between songs because I have found (not ever having done this type of thing before) that it's very hard to pronounce long words when your mouth is dry.  I slurred the Black-Eyed Peas name pretty good.  During the break, it dawned on my that it was becoming so much harder to talk because I was dehydrated.  Yikes.

    I found another kink to iron out with the show.  I have these big notebooks I got at OfficeMax dirt cheap and I write the shows by hand in there.  During Test 3 two of the pages stuck together and all of the sudden I thought I was 20 minutes short of show.  It didn't matter that much because I have more than enough music to cover up any timing mistakes, but I calculated the show length so carefully.  I didn't figure out that the two pages were stuck until very late, but was able to get all the content on the hidden page into the show.  It wasn't in the order I would have preferred, but at least the music got played. 

    Putting on a radio show is not natural for me.  It's probably more due to my disability that I can't fly without a script...it's a patting head and rubbing tummy at same time thing.  I am in awe of Rysa every time I get through a show.  I don't know how I'd ever be able to wing a 2-hour show.

    I seriously need a good headset for my home phone.  I haven't listened to the archive of Test 3 yet so I don't know how the volume of the phone is doing (I actually HELD the headset the whole time), so hopefully the cell phone headset replacement Verizon is sending me will be better than it was with my old cell phone headset.  People were telling me they couldn't even hear me.  My dream situation would be to have a professional wall jack (box that hooks directly into the wall with a mic and volume control) and a good headset.  I tried to convert the headset for my computer with an adapter to fit in my home phone handset, but the feedback was horrible.

    Well, the real reason for writing these blogs was so I could tell how they fit around the archived shows.  When I'm done with this one, I'll know everything.  I feel content that I was able to get through a show without all the nervousness.  I didn't even have to EFT before the show.  I'm thrilled!

    Test 3 - Quotes and Music for your morning enjoyment.

    Test 1

    Test 1 went off without a whole lot of problems.  Yahoo!  Oh wait, maybe I shouldn't say that in the blogtalkradio™ blog area.  I'd put an evil grin in my blog, but apparently even though there are a million options in the blog editor, emoticons aren't one of them! 

    Will I be keeping a blog for my radio show?  I'm thinking no, but you can never tell.  It's all about how much time things take and how quickly the pace of life moves.  I am in COMPLETE awe of Gary Moore who did this for a living!  My first show was only 30 minutes long.  It was an incredibly nerve-wracking 30 minutes.  I never experienced such a wonderful feeling of relief as I did when the operator on the blogtalk line counted down the last minutes.  The song played after the show stopped on blogtalk and I realized that saying goodbye to the audience during a song does not turn out the way you'd think.  Especially when your phone is a low volume as mine is.  My phones are around 10 years old (I think).  I can't believe vtech technology went back that many years ago, but I'm working with a phone thats only 2.4 GHz compared to today's 6.0 digital technology. 

    The disparity between the volume of my phone and the volume of the MP3s that are playing is quite large.  I hear people who are currently doing shows talk about having their music up in the 100s.  I'm having to turn mine down to 25%.  I played Belinda Carlisle near the end of my first show and almost deafened myself when listening to the playback.  YIKES!  I'm trying to fix the volume on the songs (you can set the percentage in your "UPLOADS" area) to keep from disturbing the audience to the point they have to shove cotton in their ears to keep their sanity.

    There's still a lot of work to do, but I'm going to force radio shows on myself every day for the rest of the week in hopes that the whole nervous freaking-out thing goes away.  Wish me luck!
