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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
