Meet the world’s slowest dj. In the course of one hour you will hear three songs and a lot of talking. I was the guest on CalZone’s WAYO “Record Geek” show on July 3rd, the third in a series of special shows that CalZone has produced. The first two guests were WRUR’s Scott Wallace, host of the long running “Rejuvenation,” and Jimmy Filingeri, bass player for The Fox Sisters.
My records really crackle in the headphones. And I had cleaned them before I left the house. I do not have a radio voice. CalZone (my brother-in-law) sounds like a pro. I kept my eyes closed for most of the interview but opened them for this photo. I fielded questions like “How has your record collecting ‘hobby’ improved your life?” I told the story about selling my baseball card collection to my high school math teacher but I never got to talk about my holy card collection. And when we got to how “Bitches Brew” changed my life I neglected to credit Rich Stim for turning me on to it.
If I had my own nine hour block of time I would have spun my “45s2go” playlist:
Choose (Apple) or (Spotify)
Lou recorded the radio show and burned me a CD so I’m listening to you now! So fun!
I remember my brother, John bought me my first 45. It was Cathy’s Clown. And I don’t remember seeing The Everly Brothers, but here they are:
