Yeah, hope Rick doesn’t mind. It’s me with another blatant self-promotion of my new radio show this Saturday at 5-6 PM Central time on NYC’s WFMU-FM! Time to take the DeLorian back in time for good old Top 40 radio days of the 60’s and 70s. It was the time of 2 1/2 minute pop music gems and legendary DJs who made life exciting! This time, my show will concentrate on the more melodic side of the decade with bad focus on the mostly non-hits from my Kansas, Chicago and Lincoln youth days, with UK faves as well. I won’t forget the ladies, as we hear from solo, duet and an all female band. We’ll have contests, requests filled (HOW? This show is on tape!), unreleased songs, Beatles memories, WFMU Superstars including my Artificial Intelligence buddy, and even some baseball! How do I cram all of this and 44 songs into 1 hour? Easy, I recorded it all on my old reel to reel machine at 1 7/8 speed and play it back at 15 IPS! (Just joking).
Let’s go back and have some fun! You can “banke” on it!
You can catch my show here:

When it is closer to starting on Saturday, just click the “Pop Up” thing and it will open a new window you can just hit “Play” there and if you have your sound on, you should hear. Hopefully, the station doesn’t have any problems that night. 🙂
P.S. I know Saturdays dont always work for people to listen to radio, so IF you miss the show, you can hear replay anytime at same spot listed above.
