founder, said, “With rare exceptions, and for myriad reasons, mostly monetary, Jive Radio has never really had a regular real-time-live DJ until Jim Goodwin came along. “We had immediate simpatico and Jim has carved out his Monday/Wednesday/ Friday mornings for almost two years, helping us make greater radio and bringing some good loco into local, like no other station in the area. Jim is our critical connection to the local and regional musicians and helps us expose them to the world. Well over 600 hours of his volunteer time help make your Schizolectic Radio adventures just a little more human.” Goodwin is well-known in the Sisters music world. He is a musician and member of the seven-piece Dry Canyon Stampede, a popular Country-Western dance band. He is known
nationally as the creator of Eggchair Music, a business born in Hollywood and now camped in Sisters. Eggchair serves clients who need custom musical compositions that cannot be fulfilled by a music library, or music of a higher quality than libraries offer. Goodwin’s Eggchair has produced hundreds of jingles, custom parody lyrics, scores to movies, brand mnemonics, and brand themes. Eggchair’s notoriety is in the realm of music for film trailers with productions like “Dodge Ball,” “Final Destination,” and “ G r o u n d h o g D a y. ” O f course, just about everybody has heard his four-note mnemonic for ABC TV. He left the LA fast-lane scene a few years back to live a lesshassled life here in Sisters, being closer to family. His father, Ted — age 98 — is a legendary state and federal judge. Jim, in “reinventing” himself, is a licensed real estate broker with Reed Bros. Coldwell Banker in addition to his varied music interests. Sitting in on Goodwin’s 200th broadcast, The Nugget

The need for speed...
