Subject: HSNOI Report to FP Board

4 shows Taped in Dec. We still don't seem to have a firm grasp on the operation of the Tricaster software. The 2 shows taped on Dec. 2 remain in limbo because the credit roll did not work on either of them and Matt hasn't beeen able to get back to the studio to edit the credit roll in. It's well within the capability of the software to do this, but I'm not sure if Matt has figured it out. Sandie inquired whether there is a Tricaster training available. I could not find one at any price, but there are how to videos online and free technical help phone service available. Valerie DuPont coincidently asked me to hold off on airing her show until she copyrights some of her new songs that she played on the show.

She has been a featured act at festivals including Singer-Songwriter Cape May, the Jersey Shore Music Festival and others. Her rhythmic, melodic songs weave themes of loves lost and found, and a range of hopes and wishes, with references to superheroes, angels, gardening, Christmas and more threaded in between. www.valeriedupont.com

The idea was to play the old tunes, the classic and traditional bluegrass music of Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, and the Stanley Brothers...tunes that many "bluegrass musicians" seem to have forgotten, the name spun out from the title of Bill Monroe's "The First Whippoorwill".
