On the Road

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. I have been on the road a lot so no updates have been posted. Hopefully starting in Oct. everything will be back to normal. The crew has kept up with the shows pretty good so drop them a line and tell them. I am about month behind just on listening. Keep checking their archives on ssc and back here, if I catch it I will post it. Have a good week.

New Chat Same Show

Hey everyone who is stopping by for the chat. The SSC crew has joined Fate Radio and now host the chat there. The direct link is http://www.fatemag.com/fateradio/. Come by there to find us on Saturday nights.

If you are here on the 24th the show actually aired from 7-9. I caught the tail end by accident. Hopefully it will be in the archives over on Fate radio.

Where is Spooky Southcoast?

This is a question that has been googled several times this week. The answer is they are still here and live on most Saturday Nights. Baseball has taken a few Saturdays. There are a couple of reasons they are not up to date here: 1) Due to Thunder Storms in my area I did miss 1 show and the last show due to a change in code of the player at WBSM kept kicking me off air and stopping the recording and finally I was out of town and the power went off which did not allow the recording.

The shows have been recorded by the guys on a new backup system of theirs so keep watch here and itunes for the release of the missed episodes. I have made changes on my end as well for the recordings here. Hopefully everything will be back to normal starting this week.

John Ledyard Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - The Life and Travels of John Ledyard by Jared Sparks

This week we pick up John’s story at Hawaii, just before Captain Cooks death and it ends with his return to England. There is a huge contrast to their first arrival in Hawaii and their second. I will reserve personal comments on this book until the end so not to shape any opinions. We may even do a live show and online chat for anyone who would like to participate when it is completed.

Note: There were several instances my curiosity peaked in this chapter on the known world and references to the names described. It is my intent to pull some screen shots as reference or to provide links. The David Rumsey Collection which is usual my primary source was down as I was compiling this so I went to my backup the University of Alabama (http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/index.html) and referenced the map A New Map of the World with the Latest Discoveries, Boston: Thomas & Andrews, 1806; Engraved for Morse's Abridgement of Geography and London: Fisher, Son & Co., 1825.

SSC 05-22-10

This is the show from 05-22-10. I have missed a few weekends due to heavy and violent thunderstorms. I believe I am caught up with the show but not sure. If someone can let me know if there was a show last week I would appreciate it. Due to ball games there has been some episodes that were not done. Drop the guys a note and tell them thanks, they were at the station most nights even when the show did not happen, ready to go on. That has got to be frustrating to no end.

9th Cavalry - Buffalo Soldiers

This week we head out west and experience the honor and valor, while celebrating the memory and the image of the Buffalo Soldier. We are joined by Regimental Sergeant Major William “Bill” McCurtis and Major Frank Crary of the 9th Memorial U.S. Cavalry - Buffalo Soldiers.

We learn about the history and background that is synonymous with the Buffalo Soldier, the legacy he left and we will find out how that vision is being carried out today. This was a heartfelt interview that I personally enjoyed and I know you will too.

Spooky Southcoast Radio 05-01-10

SHOW IS UP!

My humble apologies to all the SSC fans who have been looking for the show. Lat month I was MIA most of the time. Home only long enough to put my show together and while out and about I am not sure how many shows I caught. This one will be up in the AM on 5-2-10. The crew has not updated their archive as of yet and I know 1 weekend no show was on. I have this past weeks for sure and it is cut, the only drawback is 2 times Moniz was cut off due to auto playing net-feed commercials. We'll have to wait for the real show posting to get his thought, but until then - enjoy.
