Brokeback Mountain Radio

[Katie77]

What a great show that was........took me a while to get the radio working again here, but I got it, and sat back, and listened and looked at the pics on the slide show at the same time.....couldnt help thinking what a clever idea it all was, and I enjoyed it very very much....Thank you to all involved in making it happen.

By the way, was "Come Away with Me" by Nora Jones, from my suggestion?......I hope I had something to do with it.

I lietened to every song and very few were clunkers for me.
And I know these are not clunkers for other people, so I say you chose extremely well Eric.
I recommended "Song of Wyoming" at one point.
And you played it by Chris Ledoux - actually a better vrsion than the John Denver one I was familiar with.  Less pop and more country.

I had given up on listening to Bread, but even they fitted in so nicely.

Excellent show Eric.
I'll tune in more often now.

Is there a playlist available? I listened earlier in the evening (London time) but I missed the new songs and the slideshow 'cos of the time difference. I'd love to know what was played...

  BBM RADIO CONTEST 

One new song was added to the playlist last night.  It is a song that is very familiar to BBM, but has never been played on BBM Radio.

The first person to name the new song that was added to the playlist will win a One Month Live365 VIP membership!

  WE HAVE OUR WINNER!!  

Yippee! belbbmfan correctly answered that the new song on the station is Jackie Green's "I Will Never Let You Go" (which appears in the movie during the "What're ya waitin for Cowboy, a matin' call?" scene).

Thank you everybody for participating and for listening to the station.  Keep listening!

Join us live this Monday, February 05th at 9pm EST/6pm PST (02:00 UTC/GMT) as BBM Radio presents:  

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN by Annie Proulx, read by Campbell Scott.

Listen in, as Campbell Scott narrates Brokeback Mountain to us.  Hear and visualize the story as he reads Annie Proulx’s words, or follow along with Campbell, as you read your copy of the book/short story with him!  This will be our first of many special broadcasts on BBM Radio!

From Audiofile:
Originally published in THE NEW YORKER and then as part of the collection CLOSE RANGE, Annie Proulx's short story packs a punch. Cowboys Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar find love or something like it watching over a herd of sheep one summer on Wyoming's Brokeback Mountain. Their lives diverge and intersect again and again as they simultaneously resist and are drawn into a doomed, impossible romance.

Campbell Scott's clear reading puts Proulx's beautiful and harsh language front and center. The story is mostly straight narration, but there are a few chances for dialogue, and Scott gives the various characters subtle Western shading, with a gentle drawl for Jack and a gravelly growl for Ennis. It's a timeless story that stands up to repeated listening and will stay with listeners long after the broadcast.

This will be a BBM Radio Event not to be missed!  Tune in live this Monday, February 05th at 9:00pm EST/6:00pm PST (02:00 UTC/GMT).  Thank you for your continued support and listenership on Brokeback Mountain Radio!

For our European friends, the show will be re-broadcast at 19:00 UTC/GMT on Tuesday. (That's 8:00pm in Germany and Belgum, and 2:00pm EST/11:00am PST here in North America.)

Enjoy The Show!
