ANOTHER REQUEST ON THE RADIO​/​LIVE ON THE AIR

from STRANGE SONGS TO LISTEN TO (2024 Remaster) by The Santairs

/

about

These are songs #275 and #276 respectively. Technically, neither of these are “songs” but rather recordings of me calling the radio stations and requesting songs. The first one, “Another Request” was just me recording my own voice with a mono tape recorder as I was making a request on the radio, live. I wanted to hear what my voice sounded like over the radio waves. This was the second time I did such an experiment. The song I requested was “Pretty Ballerina” by Left Banke, but I edited that out. The second “recording”, “Live On The Air” has the first song I wrote that was played on the radio back in early 1988. It's a song called, “Lovin' All The Time.” This version is the original version I did back in 1987 which was recorded on a two track recorder. Quality of the recordings and tape isn’t very good, but at least there’s a record of it and I’m happy to have it saved. (This was recorded directly from off the radio, hence the bad quality of the recording itself.) I took this recording from an old cassette tape I had and edited it on the Audacity software. This song was transferred from cassette tape from a Denon DRM-700 3 head cassette deck with silent mechanism onto digital form.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
