But, I will be back!!!<br /><br />Cheers,<em><br />Mike</em></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #00ff00;">Another great Mix Radio Center Stage Presentation is in the books, this time with our special guest <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/John_Crafton/">John Crafton</a>, along with his project Fable! This presentation was very good in that John and his fellow artists were giving the listeners not only excellent music and an inside view of what John Crafton is all about, but also food for thought about some of the issues humanity has to deal with in these days. Thought provoking and entertaining. How much better can it get for an interested audience? It doesn't get much better than this! <br /><br />Listen to more of John Crafton's music <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/John_Crafton/">HERE</a>.<br /><br /> As always, it's a pleasure to feature all of these great artists from all over the world on Mix Radio. Not just during the Center Stage Presentation, but in general. What an abundance of talent! Who would need "traditional" mainstream radio? I sure do not! Independent Artists are far more original and entertaining (yes, you may quote me on that!) We feature many such artists who <em>should</em> be mainstream, because they are that good!<br /><br />If you missed this last show, you <em>need to make it your duty</em> to listen to a rebroadcast via the following links:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.guitaristworks.com/iMSRadio/080208SNRwithJohnCrafton.mp3">August 2, 2008 SNR - featuring John Crafton - Hi-Fi</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.guitaristworks.com/iMSRadio/080208SNRwithJohnCraftonLO.mp3">August 2, 2008 SNR - featuring John Crafton - Lo-Fi</a><br /><br />The complete playlist of this past Saturday's show is <a href="http://www.guitaristworks.com/iMSRadio/080208SNRPlayList.htm">HERE</a>.<br /><br />For all other re-broadcast links, please visit the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/MixRadio/blog.php">Mix Radio Blogs Page</a><br /><br />We hope to see you again next Saturday for another exciting Mix Radio Center Stage Presentation via Mixposure.com - "Interactive Radio" at its best!<br /><br />Your Host,<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mixposure.com/Mike_Kohlgraf/">Mike K</a></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #00ccff;">Well, I have you know that <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/John_Crafton/">John Crafton</a> was finally a guess within the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=104&amp;t=12073">General Chat - Mix Center Stage Presentation</a> thread within the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=104">Mix Radio DJ's Corner Forum </a>. Well, I did leave a few hints. ReaperSG listed some choices and after a very smart observation by WhildHoneyPie, knowing who does solo work and who does not, the choice was <strong>almost</strong> obvious. I gave a couple of clues, but the Community did well!<br /><br />Without further delay, "Interactive Radio" on Mix Radio is proud to present the next Artist up for the "Mix Radio Center Stage Presentation" during my Saturday Night Rocks show on <strong>August 2, 2008</strong>: The amazing <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/John_Crafton/">John Crafton (and Fable)</a>. Influences such as: CSN, Taylor, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell. Steeley Dan, Tom Rush, Angel Heart, The Pouges, World Travel, History, Science, Theology, Geography, The Sea, my Wives, my Children, Politics, Religion, Love, War, and others, will give you somewhat of a clue as to what this fine artist is all about!<br /><br />I am not giving away too much about John, as he himself did really very well in this CSP to let all of the listeners know what the music and the people behind it is/are about.<br /><br />So, please tune in to <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/index.php?t=mix_radio">Mix Radio, the "Interactive Radio" via Mixposure.com</a> at <strong>8 pm Eastern Time - USA</strong> and join us in the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/chat/">Chat Room</a> for some fun chat during the show!

<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #00ccff;">I dare say that my audience is becoming a bit spoiled in expecting nothing but the best in Indie Artist's music when it comes to "Saturday Night Rocks" and the "Mix Radio Center Stage Presentation", correct? I know that some of our Mixposure members have placed their guesses as to who the next CSP will be in the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=104&amp;t=12073">General Chat - Mix Center Stage Presentation</a> thread within the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=104">Mix Radio DJ's Corner Forum </a>. Gina (WildHoneyPie) had the Genre right in one of her guesses and Blake from TCP actually had the artist right (the first choice of his two guesses). It's just a fun little thing we do between shows!<br /><br />Without further delay, "Interactive Radio" on Mix Radio is proud to present the next Artist up for the "Mix Radio Center Stage Presentation" during my Saturday Night Rocks show on <strong>July 26, 2008</strong>: none other than the project (I suppose you can call it that) known as <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/aimless_sessions/">Aimless Sessions</a>. Jazz at it's finest!!! <br /><br />If Aimless Sessions has a "Band Leader", it would be whom you know as White Chameleon. Many in the Indie Music Scene also know him as Markku. I have been familiar with Markku's music for a few years now and am excited that we get to know him and those who work with him on the great tunes Aimless Sessions produces just a little bit better. This will be another great CSP - I can guarantee it!<br /><br />So, please tune in to <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/index.php?t=mix_radio">Mix Radio, the "Interactive Radio" via Mixposure.com</a> at <strong>8 pm Eastern Time - USA</strong> and join us in the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/chat/">Chat Room</a> for some fun chat during the show!

Listen to more of TCP's music <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/TCP/">HERE</a>.<br /><br />Just a little factoid for those of you who are not familiar with Internet Radio when it comes to Independent Artists: <br /><br />There are a huge number of "Indie Stations" on the Internet. I have done some extensive research over the past 4 years and I can tell you that most of those stations will have about 15 listeners MAX during one of their primetime shows. Well, I am happy to report that we hit a whopping <strong>32 Listeners</strong> on this last show here on Mix Radio! This might not seem big to you as you are reading this, but it is!!! Also, it should tell you that there is work to be done! We need many more listeners to realize how great Independent Artists really are!!! YOU can help by spreading the word! Just contact everyone you know who loves good music and have them do the same with everyone they know and simply poin them to Mix Radio on Mixposure.com - it's music that deserves to be heard by MANY more people!!!<br /><br /> It's a pleasure, featuring all of these great artists from all over the world.

<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Well, I don't think I am off base when I declare that every single Center Stage Presentation so far as been a smash hit! I believe this to be true for not only the listeners to "Saturday Night Rocks", but also for the artists who have partaken in this special feature. So, let us keep the ball rolling and the music "spinning"! Lets get to know some more of these great artists, who call themselves "Independent"! Independent from those huge labels, which take away the creative freedom from those artists. <br /><br />We here at Mixposure do not take away from that creativity and self-expression! On the contrary, we encourage it, live by it and thrive on it!<br /><br />"Interactive Radio" on Mix Radio is proud to present the next Artist up for the "Mix Radio Center Stage Presentation" during my Saturday Night Rocks show on <strong>July 19, 2008</strong>: none other than the group known as <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/TCP/">TCP</a>. <br /><br />TCP is a Progressive Rock group with many members, namely: Blake Tobias, Glenn Arpino, Glenn Liljeblad, Gary Folchi, Jack Wright, Henry Tarnecky, Reid Tobias, Ange DiGeronimo. <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/TCP/">TCP</a> list their influences to be: ELP, Genesis, Spock's Beard, Riverside, LTE, Transatlantic, Yes, Flower Kings, Floyd, Kansas, RPWL, Zappa, Beatles, Porcupine Tree, King Crimson plus 1000s more (so they say!).
