Audio Broadcast | September 21st

[lonelysmiles]

[Admittedly, Thursday is an odd day to decide to start this on but after recovering from all that work in the reactor, Alastor is a bundle of energy and can't wait any longer.]

[Anyone who picked up a radio after Alastor's announcement last month will have their radio crackle to life at 8 AM on the nose with jazzy music and Alastor singing.]

♪♫ Wake up, honey, I've made you breakfast
Fresh coffee and bagels, too
A new day is waiting for us
We've got lots of fun stuff to do

Let's go to the zoo and feed the monkeys
I can lend 'em your baseball cap
Let's make the day a barrel of fun (And not grow up)
Growing up is just a trap

Don't it seem like a drag (It's a down right drag)
Like putting all of your joy in a big brown bag (don't do it)
I won't listen to any of that yap
No, I'll never grow up (I'll never grow up)
Growing up is just a big fat trap

I take pride in never working a day
Can't see the use of it anyway
Who can think up such a load 'a crap (just grown ups)
Growing up is just a trap ♪♫

[On the bridge, Alastor begins talking, the bridge extending as needed.]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for tuning in to 666 AM with me, your host and local Radio Demon, Alastor!

I'm pleased to announce that Reverein's own radio facilities are now officially open! But as I always say, where's the fun in a radio with only one channel? Or one performer for that matter? So feel free to drop by and try your hand at ways to entertain your friends and neighbors, maybe just advertise your local business on the air for those who might know! Reverein is starting to get quite large, after all!

I'll be broadcasting on this frequency with news, interviews, music, and so on. Feel free to contact me either in person or via journal if you'd be interested in being on the air but aren't quite ready to jump into the pool with both feet. Or even if you just have a particular song you'd like to request!

In the meantime, enjoy the music!

[And with that, he's going to go back into singing.]

♪♫ Well, don't it seem like a drag (It's a big fat drag)
Ohh, like putting all of your joy in a big brown bag (don't do it)
No, I won't listen to any of that yap
Growing up is just a trap (Growing up is a big fat trap)
Oh yeah, well growing up is just a trap, ohh (Growing up is a big fat trap)
Growing up is just a trap ♪♫

Oh yes! That would be marvelous. I’m always looking forward to finding a fellow musician to play some music with me for some time.

Finding a good pianist shouldn’t be too hard to find in town, I might even consider hosting a talent search as well.

[lonelysmiles]

Well, if you ever need someone to temporarily fill in while you search, I know my way around the ivories!

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh gee thanks, that would be really great to perform alongside you. I greatly appreciate the help a lot.

[lonelysmiles]

It's no trouble at all! What good is an entertainer without a stage, hmm? Nothing!

[grandduchess_anya]

Yeah exactly. Having a platform to share one’s talents is much appreciated and I would love to get back to doing some violin performances as soon as I can.

[lonelysmiles]

Happy to make that happen!

Though I'm curious why you never chose to perform at the theater?

[grandduchess_anya]

Work, basically a heavy work schedule. It is because I have been so busy with work lately that I haven’t been able to get to perform on stage for a third time. I would love to do it again if I’m given the chance at the right time.

[lonelysmiles]

I don't see why people wouldn't be interested in paying you to perform on the regular. When you do something you love, you never work a day in your life. I know that from experience.

There's a lot of effort put into each radio broadcast, but there's nothing else I'd rather do. The fact I could make a living off of it was just the icing on the cake!

[grandduchess_anya]

My, that is some great words to live by. I didn’t know that it is entirely possible to be happy and making a living with one’s passions.

I’ll probably get to start playing it on a semi regular basis and return to play the violin more frequently. And I should also find a way to juggle doing violinist and seamstress work too.

[lonelysmiles]

An excellent way to start off such a drastic shift in career! Perhaps in addition to solos, you could organize others who might be willing to form small groups to further expand the options available.

[grandduchess_anya]

That sound like a great way to connect with other musicians. I will try to see if there is a big interest in starting small musical groups and see if we can have talent shows and concerts quite a bit.

It has been a while since we had a major talent show being held for the whole town.

[lonelysmiles]

Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you! Let me know how I might be able to help!

[grandduchess_anya]

Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. Perhaps we can host a series of radio ads asking anyone if they are interested in having a talent show soon or run auditions for anyone interested in trying out.
