Call To Action: "WEFM" Streaming Radio Station

We've always been interested in leveraging the power of the internet to get around the blockage posed by McMedia, bringing you the good music with our MP3 downloads, RSS feeds and with our "WEFM Radio" feature; now we'd like to turn WEFM into a full-blown streaming radio service (it's currently more of a "jukebox" than a real station), with live as well as pre-recorded shows, interviews, concert broadcasts and more. New technology is our friend here, as it is now possible to have live DJs from around the world broadcasting shows through our server.

Will you help us build this service? Our bean-counters suggest we could get equipment, software and a year's worth of bandwidth for about $2000, so let's get busy- it's simple, we put up a thermometer, see, and then raise money until it erupts:

Please consider a tax-deductible membership or donation to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit- this can be a great way of getting the good music into more ears, and that is, after all, what we are about.

When you attend one of their shows, you can expect to hear Birdy originals, traditional folk tunes, Celtic selections, contemporary music in a stripped down earthy BIRDY style, a random Beatles tune, and a few other things thrown in for good measure. release.
