As I travel around I come across lots of different wonderful music shops, venues, radio stations , and record labels. Here are links to some of my favorite ones out there. This page is constantly being updated as I stumble across more gems across the globe. Won't be long before this list is extended to include places on the moon and maybe Mars? Ya never know!
Radio Stations
![Picture](/uploads/3/7/5/4/3754047/4082785.jpg)
Ground Level on WBCX 89.1 @ Brenau University
Ground Level is an independently produced radio program that features an adventurous selection of modern, contemporary and creative improvised music with a few rare treats and more. Hosted and produced by Chet White, the show airs Thursdays from 8pm to 12am EST on Brenau University's 89.1 WBCX, The Voice Of Brenau, serving NE Georgia & NE Metro Atlanta.
Chet White, host of Ground Level is a close friend and also my music mentor. He played a large role in me expanding my music tastes to the level that it is today. If you are anything like me and you are disgusted by the mainstream radio stations playing garbage then you may want to tune into his show. However, if you are caught up in genres and labeling then beware. He plays really great music that defies genres.

Jazz90.1 in Rochester, NY
Jazz90.1 is also an important outlet for music and voices that don’t make it onto commercial radio. Our longest-running show is Polka Bandstand. We also feature the Lithuanian-language program Dainos Aidas; The German Radio Program; and Esencia Latina, a four-hour program of Latin music (broadcast in Spanish). You don’t need a plane ticket and passport to expand your horizons…all you need is a radio or computer tuned to Jazz90.1. (Check out our program schedule for more information.)
Ok, the paragraph above was the little blurb I copied off the facebook page for Jazz90.1 but the reason I like this radio station is because of the diversity of the music but also because the city of Rochester has a GREAT jazz festival where they bring in artists from all over the world. Some of the artists are really popular ones but many of them are lesser known acts but amazingly talented. Jazz90.1 plays the music of these artists.

RECORD LABELS
There are so many good artists out there. And many of them are on independent record labels. Sometimes that is the best way to find good music, look at the independent smaller labels. Anyway, as I travel and meet people and do my own research I learn of many record labels that have some serious talent on them. Special thanks to Chet White, host of Ground Level, a program on 89.1 WBCX in Gainesville, Georgia. He gave me a lot of insight into some of the labels whose artists are consistently putting out good, quality music. His show is on every Thursday evening 8pm-Midnight EST: http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wbcx/ppr/index.shtml
