Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

They were forgotten by The Country Music Industry, Country Radio, and even The Grand Ole Opry. Pioneers of Country proudly remember those artists and the music they made popular.

He then plays “Room Full of Roses” by Mickey Gilley who passed away on May 7, 2022 at 86 years old. Dave reads some e-mails from listeners. He mentions that this is a rare evening (Dave's local time) broadcast. A great tune is next Alan Jackson - Playing Possum, a tribute to George Jones! Dave has old computer problems. He also incorrectly states that it is 2011. It is in fact 2012. He also says it is June 9th. That is partially true (local time) but since we go by UTC or GMT the computer marked the file as June 10th. Not a problem in the whole picture. Dave gives Today in History information. Lookin' for Tomorrow (And Finding Yesterdays) by Mel Tillis is next. Dave plays Charlie Pride and Kiss an Angel Good Morning. A request from a listener. Wilburn Brothers with Bloomin' fools is next.

The "Tennessee Waltz", a popular country music song with lyrics by Redd Stewart and music by Pee Wee King is next. Walkin' After Midnight by Patsy Cline is next. Ladd Dunham is next from his album “In the Country” and Sea Cruise.

Pioneers of Country May 28, 2011 We begin with "16th Avenue" a song written by Thom Schuyler, and recorded by American country music artist Lacy J. Dalton. The song slowly fades out, and after about 6 seconds of the dreaded “dead air” (Dave must have been distracted for some reason) we hear "She Thinks I Still Care" by George Jones. We then hear "I'm My Own Grandpa" a novelty song written by Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe, performed by Lonzo and Oscar. "Any Time" is a Tin Pan Alley song written by Herbert "Happy" Lawson. The song was published in 1921 and first recorded by Emmett Miller for OKeh Records in 1924. It became associated with Country music when Eddy Arnold rescued it from obscurity in 1948, topping the Billboard Juke Box Folk Records Chart for nine weeks. This was a warm-up broadcast begun about 10 minutes before the start of the show. Dave rolls out the theme song. He then explains the Memorial Day broadcast schedule. Dave talks grilling baby back ribs. We now hear “Ballad of the Green Berets” a 1966 song about US Special Forces, written and performed by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler, a veteran of the Vietnam War. Today Dave plans to do a “Tragedies in Country Music” theme show. We now hear The "Tennessee Waltz", a popular country music song with lyrics by Redd Stewart and music by Pee Wee King written in 1946 and first released in January 1948. A of Marty Robbins' race car while visiting Nashville several years ago. There's 45 more minutes of great country music to follow.

Golden Age OTR May 17, 2008 This was a special Podcast. It marked our return to internet broadcasting after 2 years of retirement. We retired from regular shows on March 26, 2006. After a song or two, Dave replays his sign-off on March 26, 2006. The skit is called Kid Kirby's last stand. It was a combination an actual OTR show and Dave's interjection of the current state of Internet laws. Every now and then we dive into our earlier podcasts. This is an example. It's 4+ hours and Dave was filling in for regular Iwebradio broadcaster Dakota's Dad and his Saturday morning show “Outpost 4”. This was before our regular Pioneers of Country format. However there's some great country music to be enjoyed. Listen for The Statler Brothers. At 146 minutes into the podcast Dave does a tribute to Eddy Arnold who passed away on May 8, 2008. The main music that you hear is music from the Great American Songbook. Special Note: Most of the E-Mail, chat room, and web sites mentioned no longer exist.

Cybershortwave May 14, 2000 (Mother's Day) From 25 years ago. This was prior to our country music format. However there's no shortage of pioneers of country music.
The Merle Haggard Story (Pt 14) Pioneers of Country welcomes you to “The Merle Haggard Story” - a syndicated program originally broadcast in early 1985, including many interviews. PLAYLIST: Yesterday's Wine Going Where the Lonely Go Merle Haggard passed away on April 6, 2016. Not long after Live 365 went out of business, so we never got to do a proper tribute broadcast. That is until now. During the COVID Pandemic of 2020 and 2021, I got the chance to travel to a place close to home – my attic! Up there I found a treasure trove of recordings that I had forgotten about. Among them was this several part syndicated broadcast titled “The Merle Haggard Story”. I thought it would be a great tribute to “The Hag” if we rebroadcast this part of Merle's beginnings, and continuing to his mid career popularity.…
