In 2009 I launched a new stream, Whitester Radio — the 80's on http://listen.to/whitester-radio, which is all-'80s music 24/7 and is dedicated to the Omaha Benson High School - Class of 1984 (my graduating class) in time for our 25-year reunion. I also have the '60s, the '70s and Smooth Jazz."

David W. White
, 1989 BA, lives in Omaha and says that in 2000, “I started my own Internet
Radio station via Live365.com called Whitester Radio. It is still going
strong six years later. I have four
different Whitester
Radio streams featuring music from the 1960s, 1970s, Smooth Jazz and Classic
Rock. All four streams have a very strong following, which makes this venture
a very worth-while and
fulfilling one
for me. I get several smooth jazz CDs from independent artists on independent
labels from all over the world in hopes that I will play their music on
Whitester Radio-Smooth Jazz. More times than not, I will put their music
into the playlist.
I have to credit UNO for the success of Whitester Radio. My broadcasting education and experiences started at UNO in the 1980s with student-run KBLZ, KVNO and KYNE-26, then moving on to KOIL and KGOR in the 1990s. All UNO alums are invited to listen to any of the Whitester Radio streams and to visit my website at: http://listen.to/whitester-radio"

This station's got it goin' on. The era-specific stations (the 60's and the 70's streams) play music that was popular at the time, but one you don't hear on oldies format radio stations. The smooth jazz fare mixes in a little fusion and some Dan of Steele -- very nice. His classic rock also features deep cuts -- refreshing.

WHITESTER RADIO-the 60's
What
a gas. This stream runs deep with the hits and the misses from the decade
that established Rock 'n Roll as a cultural, social and political force
to reckon with, and revolutionized the world we live in. All the kookie,
swinging, rip-city, psychedelic, easy
listening,
Top 40, Motown,"turn down that freaking Rock 'n roll" songs that used to
tick off your old man. The Who, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles (of course),
Dionne Warwick, Donovan, BJ Thomas, Bobby Sherman, Glenn Campbell, Curtis
Mayfield and even a great selection of one-hit wonders like The 1910 Fruitgum
Company's, "Yummy Yummy Yummy" from 1968 and Kyu Sakamoto's "Sukiyaki"
from 1963.

WHITESTER RADIO-SMOOTH JAZZ
Smooth
Jazz does not mean SNOOZE Jazz…tune in for an upbeat, vibrant, colorful
listening session. Great energy because of a great playlist. "Twilight
World" by Swing Out Sister, Weather Report's classic interpretation of
"Birdland"… David Benoit, The Rippingtons, George Benson, Wes Montgomery,
Bob James…there's so much
more
to this kind of music than Kenny G. You'll hear why we gave Whitester's
Smooth Jazz "Best of Planet" honors.

From: David White
Hey Brad:
I saw the Monkees last night (Sunday, June 10th) at the Lied Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. The first 2 rock and roll bands that I was turned on to as a kid were the Beatles and the Monkees. I'm 35 so I never got to see the Beatles, however I saw Paul McCartney in concert 11 years ago. I never saw the Monkees in concert until last night. It was well worth the wait.
The
concert started with the back-up musicians playing an instrumental medley
of Monkees tunes. Then Peter, Davy, and Mickey came out doing the "famous"
Monkee-walk and opened the 2-hour show with "Last Train To Clarksville."
Afterwards, they did a string of their big hits. Peter, Davy, and Mickey
took time to do their own thing. Davy did his Monkee ballads like
"I Wanna Be Free" & "It's Nice To Be With You." Plus, Davy did
his big solo hit "Girl" (that he performed on an episode of "The Brady
Bunch" in 1972), "You're My Forever" which had the girls screaming &
a
medley
of songs from the musical "Oliver" that Davy starred in in England before
the Monkees. Peter did the Monkees songs that he sang lead on like
"Your Auntie Grizelda" and "Long Title" (from the Monkees' 1968 movie "Head")
Peter also sang the Little Richard classic "Lucille", played some Bach
on the piano/Korg synthesizer and broke out his banjo to do a great Monkees'
version of Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher." Mickey also sang
lead on his Monkee songs like "Mary, Mary" & "The Girl I Knew Somewhere"
as well as doing a short version of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" where
the back-up musicians booed and shouted "We Want Davy" (to help Mickey
tell the story of how Jimi Hendrix was booed off-stage when he opened up
for the Monkees in 1967.) Mickey also sang his version of Lenny Welch's
"Since I Fell For You." The 3 Monkees did an acoustic set of "Papa
Gene Blues" (a Michael Nesmith song that they did in his absence), "Take
A Giant Step" & "You and I" (from the Monkees' 1996 CD "Justus.")
The Monkees brought the packed-house to their feet with "Daydream Believer"
in which the members of the rock group Natural (the opening act for the
Monkees) came on stage to join the Monkees. They ended the set with "That
Was Then, This Is Now", "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" & "Pleasant
Valley Sunday."
It was a "Pleasant Valley Sunday" indeed on a hot 90 degree summer day in Lincoln, Nebraska. After 35 years, the Monkees still have it. A GREAT CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I
would like all of the readers of The Reader to know that Omaha's own David
White has started up his own Internet radio station called "Whitester Radio
— the '60s."
"Whitester
Radio — the '60s" plays the best pop music from the 1960s that is rarely
played on KGOR-Oldies 99.9 FM. "Whitester Radio — the '60s" is broadcast
via Live365.com-Radio Revolution —the planet's largest radio community
—
which has over 22,000 stations broadcasting worldwide.
David previously worked for KVNO, KOIL and KGOR before deciding to start up Whitester Radio— the '60s. The Web site is http://listen.to/whitester-radio.
