The Pam Baumgardner Music Hour (On Hiatus)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I now host a local music show on CAPS Media’s new radio station KPPQ-LP at 104.1 FM. \u00a0It simulcasts on the internet so we are worldwide.\u00a0 We have to abide by strong rules such as never announcing song titles before we play them; only being able to rebroadcast the same show three times a week and only for two weeks; AND I’m not allowed to say VenturaRocks.com on the air. I can not get any benefit from what I do so I can’t promote my website. The first few rules are to protect the artists so people can’t steal music and try to record a song they want. \u00a0The last rule is a general Non-profit radio rule.<\/p>\n

By the way, if you are covering someone else’s music, you should have permission to do so. \u00a0I will be asking. \u00a0For that reason, most music will be original work…which is really the point of doing this anyway, right? \u00a0Sharing local artist’s talent.<\/p>\n

I can live with those rules, I’m sure you can too. \u00a0If you’d like to be a part of this venture and would like to submit your music for possibility of getting played, then send me a email at Pam@VenturaRocks.com.<\/p>\n

Please DO NOT try to get me to go to Reverbnation or i-Tunes or Spotify or….<\/p>\n

I play artists who live here in Ventura, live nearby, as well as most of Southern California. \u00a0I also play artists who have come here to play and maybe a song or two of something I just find interesting. Tune in won’t you?<\/p>\n

Right now my show airs Tuesdays 5-6 pm at 104.1 FM, KPPQ-LP Ventura with rebroadcasts on Friday at 5 and Sunday at noon.<\/p>\n

UPDATE ON FACEBOOK PAGE (April 2015):<\/strong><\/p>\n

We chose to migrate to a “Business” page as oppose to continue as a “Friend” page for a couple reasons.
\n#1 It’s against the rules to be a business as a “Friend” page. \u00a0We knew our days could be numbered and we could get taken down,\u00a0so we bit the bullet and converted our “Friends” to “Likes”.
\n#2 The cap on “Friends” is 5,000. \u00a0There is no cap on “Likes.” \u00a0We had been keeping Friends at 4,999 so people could request to be friends (otherwise you’d get a notice saying we no longer accept friends). \u00a0When people shut down their page, un-friended us, we un-friended them, or they got blacked-balled, we would add people who were in the queue. \u00a0We had dozens in the queue at any given time. \u00a0They’re all Likes now.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Facebook only shows our posts for a very small minority of people who have Liked us. To increase your chances of having us show up in your news feed, hunt us down, make sure you had Liked us, then continue to click on posts, Like them and comment on them.<\/p>\n

This is our new page: \u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/venturarockswebsite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rules for Facebook:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please do not list your gig on a comment for someone else’s gig.\u00a0 For instance, let’s say we shared an event for the Jazz Punks at Squashed Grapes.\u00a0 We will remove comments that talk about another gig at Cafe Fiore.\u00a0 It’s just bad manners. I delete disparaging remarks.\u00a0 Again, bad manners.<\/p>\n

We no longer allow people to post to our timelines.\u00a0 You can either private message me with the information or send it to pam@venturarocks.com.\u00a0 But better yet…create an event and invite us.<\/p>\n

While we’re on the subject of invites, be sure to add artwork!\u00a0 I promise, it will get noticed more by viewers, than those which don’t do anything. And be sure to make your invite Public!\u00a0 If you don’t, I won’t be able to share it.<\/p>\n

This is not a community soundboard. We don’t post “drummer needed,” or “we’re looking to hire a manager,” etc…<\/p>\n

If you have an editorial or some other content that we find interesting on your timeline, we sometimes ask if we can add it to our website.\u00a0 We always ask for permission.\u00a0 If you find we missed something, music-event-wise, PLEASE bring it to our attention!<\/p>\n

We don’t blackball events or artists or venues.<\/p>\n

It would be really really helpful if you checked here before sending info for your gig.\u00a0 We may already know about it:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.venturarocks.com\/Listings\/index.htm.\u00a0 We update for the week on Sundays.<\/p>\n

So in closing, help us help you.\u00a0 We want to boom Ventura’s music scene!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
