> afforded Charles the opportunity to work with such jazz notables as Claude 
> ''Fiddler'' Williams, Bobby Watson, Carmell Jones and many others who have 
> made an impact on the K.C. jazz scene. With a stellar band featuring Ali 
> Ryerson, Greg Gisbert, Ken Walker, Mark Simon, Eric Gunnison and Paul 
> Romaine, Gatschet delivers an array of beautiful tunes, half of which are 
> his own.  Quoting from Dr. Herb Wong's liner notes: ''Jazz 
> guitarist-composer Charles Gatschet's aesthetic backdrop and the music on 
> STEP LIGHTLY, indeed, ignite reasons to step lively with felicity of 
> Charles' mission in jazz.''

> Hello Bobby,
> We use Selector and it does a good job of doing what I tell it to do.

> material or fewer vocals.

> I also have Christmas clocks and holiday clocks and music coded to fit

> At first I wasn't too excited about using a computer program but it is so
> much better than just my brain because I can write in *Love* and it will
> pull up every song with that word in the title.  With so many titles in a
> jazz library it remembers things I might overlook.  I can also access
> material according to artist, so it will pull up all the Coltrane in the
> library, even stuff he is a side man on if I have entered his name on the
> tune.  This has been really helpful for my 9 O'clock Special, where I
> feature a different artist or topic every night.

> I can also pull up everything in a category, so if I don't feel like 
> playing
> Ella I click on K and everything in the vocal categories comes up.  You
> could also separate this Male and Female vocal if you want to put that 
> into
> the code.
>
> It is easy to change and I'm always adjusting the show up until the last
> minute and on rare occasions will take a request and fit that in as well.
> There is a J for juggle and I can switch a tune to the next hour for a 
> tune
> in that hour.
>
> Our webmaster has The Selector program set up to go directly to our 
> website
> so that when I change something on the program it will show up on the web
> and people can access our play list to find out what they heard.
>
> The hardest part was the entering of everything and figuring out how I 
> want

> but
> I have a very good assistant to do that.
