1. Wow! Is Live365 still around?

2. Sean got run off CapRadio when they had a monster fiscal scandal and cut way back (Sacramento State) 25 year run.

He looked around for a vehicle for his popular program, and Live365 was the best one he found.

Works for me but the web version and the Live365 app won't run on my older gear, and I prefer not to tie up the new gear just playing music. Everything else runs on a very old iPadAir2 (very obsolete, go figure)

My normal haunts are apps: KUSC, WQXR ( wow, the 24 by 7 by 365 Operavore channel), WDAV (Davidson College) and on the web: WBJC (Baltimore Junior College ... very fine programming) Maybe some others I forgot.

Listening to William Tell now, post the Lone Ranger overture. Sean says that the full production has 11 or 12 High C's for tenor, and as you might expect, Pavarotti is the lead tenor in this recording.

I am a basso. (not a bass, that's a fish)

Sean pays his own freight in his home studio, so he raises money on Patreon.
Dropping his program was cruel, especially since someone else's fraud caused the fiasco.

The shows at CapRadio stopped in August 2023, but there are many years of archived operas at the site.
Thank goodness they kept the archives online.
