Spaceman,
And she does a remarkable cover. She did Merle proud.

The DC4 was the first post WWII airliner to bring air travel to the masses. The airplane was a work horse during the war and saved west Berlin in the airlift during the Soviet blockade after WWII. It was the progenitor of the pressurized DC6 and DC7 which along with all other piston engine airliners faded away to carry freight with the introduction of the Boeing 707 and DC8 jets in 1958. DC4s are still hauling stuff in places like the arctic. Watch Ice Pilots and the DC4 is still going strong after almost 70 years.

Bob,
This picture was for you!
This plane is actually taking off from Logan Airport. I remember the props, and my first plane ride was from Hyannis to Boston in a small prop plane.

Thank you. The first airplane I went on was a DC4 in 1953 from Dallas to New York with a stop in Washington DC. The pilot let me sit on his lap in cruise and that was when I first decided to go into flying.

Bob,
Mine was a small plane where you walked up to the seats in front and the pilots were behind a curtain. It was along the shoreline and was magnificent.

minicapt,
I would enjoy riding a smaller airline’s planes and sometimes wish I had the money to charter flights. When I rode Cape Air, I loved the view of the shoreline and the ocean.
The clothes are cool and I think I found a Christmas present for a friend.

minicapt,
I’d love a seaplane. I see pictures of the old PanAm seaplanes and which I could go back in time to ride one.

Kathleen, since es domingo, perhaps some Hillsong is OK to play. And Aussies are interesting no matter what.
Continuing with the “intro to contemporary christian music”, this would be considered a “worship song”, which are typically quite long and make liberal use of repetitious lyrics. A nice touch is that often the audience gets to sing a stanza or 2.

Spaceman,
I find the title inside the ( ) intriguing.
Her voice is beautiful. I think the audience singing is a great touch making them a part of the song, part of the worship.
The background lights enhance the music. Lovely song!

It’s not unusual for people to auto-dismiss contemporary christian music as being sort of dorky (I did at one time myself). But that was mostly due to a lack of familiarity. Some is quite good musically, irrespective of the source.
May 19, 2014 at 10:57 pm
Spaceman,
I think many people don’t hear much contemporary Christian music. I don’t. There are TV stations I zip right by, and I know of no local radio stations primarily playing contemporary christian music.
I’d have to figure it couldn’t be dorky or it wouldn’t attract younger people.
May 20, 2014 at 9:56 pm
K-Love radio stations are almost everywhere.
May 20, 2014 at 10:06 pm
Spaceman,
My radio choices are few: the local NPR, an oldies station called Koffee, a sports channel and a community station out of Provincetown. I seldom scan.
May 21, 2014 at 9:24 pm
I jump between NPR, country, hard rock, christian. Probly NPR news the most because it’s on to & from work.
May 21, 2014 at 9:35 pm
Spaceman,
Probably most of my listening is NPR. I like to hear conversation when I drive. Music tends to lull a bit.
May 22, 2014 at 6:46 am
Driving can be pretty boring especially over distances. Radio helps. I like their news shows, but they do lean left.
May 22, 2014 at 9:49 am
Spaceman,
I too lean a bit left so we are compatible, NPR and I.
May 22, 2014 at 9:25 pm
That’s what makes America great – balance and respect.
However, NPR, as a public corporation shouldn’t be politically tilted.
May 22, 2014 at 9:31 pm
Spaceman,
I doubt any similar stations wouldn’t have a bit of a tilt.
May 22, 2014 at 11:47 pm
Lot’s of stations are tilted and that’s perfectly fine. The issue is that NPR receives public tax monies. So the tilt in their news programs is quite inappropriate. They need to go private
May 23, 2014 at 10:35 am
Spaceman,
Most stations receive from 2 to 7% of their money from federal subsidies. My stations tend to have programming with no political leanings such as This American Life. I don’t think that many radio or even TV stations can separate themselves from politics.
May 23, 2014 at 10:01 pm
They have some really good shows. But then they also have heavy duty biased shows like “Democracy Now”. And when David Brooks is the best they can do for a weekly conservative contributor, I don’t think so! The left tilt is completely logical: they are pitching to contributors and their primary underwriters, who are a “who’s who” of liberal foundations. All that is perfectly OK with me except that they are a public corporation.
May 23, 2014 at 10:16 pm
Spaceman,
It makes sense that they would be backed by few conservative organizations. I like the local programming about the cape way back and birds around now and what to look for.
