We had a pretty good year and hope you had it as least as good, if not better!

Part 5 of my time back in the Isaan, July 2009/2552:

Erawan Cave

On the way back from Phu Rua, Ajan Boon Long sprung a fast one on me and took me to a cave site I've wanted to see for almost a decade...

Continuing the video series of my month in the Thai countryside, July 2009/2552... This short video (shot with Hi-8 tape) features our 17 Rai of rice land across the road from Wat Nong Soong Pleui. My brother-in-law Sawt and his wife Nui are cameo'd, as well as Tah, Khun Paw (my wife's father), my wife Thip and family members and friends planting rice... Initially, the rice is seeded in large beds and then, when at a certain height, redistributed throughout the rest of the rice beds. This video shows this later stage.

Radio Airchecks

My radio career -- such as it was -- spanned the years 1968-1992. I am fortunate in having recorded many of my airchecks during the later part of it. These are now digitized and posted as podcasts for about a month at a time.

See the sidebar for the player. Press the play button to listen to the latest uploaded aircheck. Give it time to load.





I was never a great DJ, or even a good one, but this was probably more due to rarely having regular work -- was always filling in, part-timing, or trying to establish a gig that had a short life span. I had talent putting together flows of music in a coherent mix and developed my own style that I hope you enjoy -- so many years later -- "Listening with Malcolm..."
