OK, here's what you need to know.
There are 15 pieces of music on the record, and each one had to be imported and posted on a separate page. This main Ho! Westward
page kicks off with the theme song, by Jim/Richard Wulfsberg. (The longest piece,
the Orchestra Overture, goes on for almost 7 minutes so I put it at the end ... was afraid no one would stick with the program
if it started the show!)
I chose to spread the other numbers over two sections of our website (The Quad, pages 2-10, and
Jefferson Hi Tide, pages 1-4. Each page has a note giving the song titles and performers. These will most likely
stay on the website and never be replaced by other music.) They more or less follow the order on the program, but not
exactly. The quality of the recording is iffy, somewhat scratchy with a few hiccups. I think it may sound better
if speakers are not turned all the way up. But just think – 52 years ago!
In almost all cases, solo performers
have been contacted and told to visit the website, and offered a CD of the show.
Good stuff!

the way, if you went to Jefferson, you might want to read some of the fun “Kampus Keyhole” gossip items while
you are on those pages.
