King Records, Part 9: Federal Records, Part 1: 1951-54 this week on The Juke In The Back!

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
This week, it’s part 9 of a multi-part feature on the great King Record Label, out of Cincinnati. Syd Nathan, who began putting out records under the King logo in 1943, developed King as a hillbilly music label. After seeing the sales potential in the Rhythm & Blues market, Nathan launched the Queen Records subsidiary in 1945, but folded it into King in 1947 and transferred his R&B acts over.

What do Amateur Radio and Peanuts have in common?

G'day everyone.

This week on Damo's all day breakfast I'll be demonstrating Peanut, but not the salted variety, or peanuts in their shells. After all, who needs or wants a demo of either of those.
Peanut is an Amateur Radio app which runs on an Android or Windows device, and allows you to access a number of digital Ham Radio services without a radio. what makes this demo slightly unique, is that I'll be demonstrating using a BrailleSense Polaris note-taker. I may even enter, all be it briefly, into the great note-taker vs Braille display debate.
