All of us at QSO love the show Marions Attic on WBCQ! One of the most creative and unique shows on radio! It will make you and your shortwave radio smile !
NEW BROADCAST TIME FOR MARIONS ATTIC! October 28, 2008 – 10:27 pm This just in from Marion Webster. To all of my listeners, You have been very patient with me during the Winter months with no reception. It is just the way radio works on short wave. This has to change and it is very expensive for me to allow only the Moose in Monticello to hear my show. The good news is I just got off of the phone with the owner of WBCQ, Allan Weiner. He is willing to move my program, Marion’s Attic, to a better time so my fans can hear it on their radio better during the Fall, Winter and early Spring months. The streaming audio will also change time too. Thank-you, Allan. You are a perfect gentleman. The new time, effective IMMEDIATELY, is: SATURDAY, 5:OO PM, EASTERN TIME ON 7.415 MHz ! My web site will be down for a while due to AOL Hometown going away. We will try to update our web site and find a new host soon. Thank-you for being loyal listeners all these years. Lovingly, Marion Webster
Welcome to Marion's Attic Welcome to Marion's Attic. My name is Marion Webster, and I have a radio show that I would like you to hear. It features music and stories of long ago. Listen to WBCQ, the Planet, on 7.415 MHz at 5:00 PM Eastern Time every Saturday. Also on SkyBird Radio at 2:00 PM Eastern Time every Sunday. www.skybirdradio.com My show features recorded music with the original records from the 1890's to the early 1930's. The theme of the show varies each week. One week may feature early brown wax cylinders and another week may have 20's dance music. Two-minute wax, Blue Amberols, and Diamond Disc Recreations are featured frequently. Marion's Attic has been on WBCQ, the Planet, since September 21, 1999. Since I had thousands of records, and no one to share them with. WBCQ was less than a year old then and had established itself as a trend setter. I was lucky enough to be on the right station at the right time. Oh brother, did I start out in a difficult time slot (Tuesdays at 4:30 Eastern for one half hour)! I was sandwiched between a "Far Right Winger" and an "Evangelist." Despite this, my program generated some very gratifying listener mail. My half-hour shows gave me the experience I needed to produce an hour show. On April 1, 2000, I premiered on the big broadcast night of Saturday at 9 PM on 7.415 MHz. What a great night it was listening to WBCQ and magic was in the air. The fan mail from that night was wonderful. My fans are ages 9 to 90; people from all walks of life and of many professions. I am honored by their loyalty. I received the ultimate compliment with Tasha Femkins' very first broadcast which aired after my program on the night of June 15, 2000. She had a special segment on Michael Ketter's HERE NOW program called MAGIC RADIO. It featured a radio biography of The LIFE & TIMES of MARION WEBSTER. It also featured stars such as Rod Serling, Jack Webb, William Shatner, Jimmy Stewart, and a host of others. It was an incredible broadcast that left everyone that I knew in stitches. My hat's off to Complex Variable Studios. Besides my incredible fans, my show occasionally features special guests. If you are lucky, you may hear Baron von Knight, a prestigious phonograph and record collector. His contributions are invaluable. Also, we have guests from other countries such as Michael from Kempen, Germany, and Scott Hadley from Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. You never know what language Marion's Attic will be in. Music is what ties our World together. I am mostly a staff of one, but my program wouldn't be possible, most nights, without the help of my faithful friend, Kristina. She is one of the few people who can put up with me! She is very patient and understanding. We have fun together picking out records and reading the fan mail. Even Electra, the cat, gets fan mail. Twice so far, Electra has decided she didn't like the selection I was playing and stopped the record. What a critic! I record my program each week up in my attic using the most simple recording equipment and the original phonographs. The machines that I use are as follows: 1898 Edison Home phonograph for brown wax cylinders
If you have any questions, I can answer them via e-mail or on the air! Lovingly, |
