Broadcaster Comments

The music of the 1920s and 1930s has a lightness and a vitality totally lacking in other musical realms. Also, it could be sophisticated, smart, and funny. It is not the over-processed, demographically-targeted pop of later years. It was all in one take, all on one mike, spontaneous, and totally in the moment. Hence it is still fresh, joyous, and new, even after 75 years.

Each weekend I will add the archive of the previous week's show, originally broadcast each Friday 8-10 PM ET on WHCL-FM 88.7 from Hamilton College in Clinton, NY. Playlists and original broadcast dates for each program may be found at my Radiola! blog. Owing to an upgrade in service, there is now much more programming to enjoy on this RADIOLA! stream.

RED HOT CHICAGO This RADIOLA! is a celebration of our recent weekend in Chicago to hear Vince Giordano and The West End Jazz Band.

BLACK FRIDAY This RADIOLA! observes the 80th anniversary of the 1929 Wall Street crash with fitting (if not always obvious) selections.

PAPER MOON This RADIOLA! greets with skepticism any notion of monkeying with the moon.

MARVELOUS! For this RADIOLA! "Marvelous" is not just the first selection--there's a great mixture of old and new music here!

SHAKE THAT THING! For this RADIOLA! there's lots of recently acquired shellac--and a report of last week's jazz fest in Cazenovia.

PETE'S TURN Pete Bianco filled in as host for this RADIOLA! and outside of the improvement you won't notice the difference.

STOMP OFF--LET'S GO! This RADIOLA! teems with great early jazz, dance bands, and other delights.

BLUES EDITION This RADIOLA! is somewhat bluesy, mostly acoustic--and (excepting the middle set) all pre-1930.

BACK TO WORK This RADIOLA! admits it's time to get cracking again--right after Labor Day, that is.

LAST BLAST This RADIOLA! mourns the end of summer--but is determined to go out swinging.

DIDN'T HE RAMBLE! This RADIOLA! celebrates guitarist Lawrence Lucie, who died August 14 at age 101.

WHATCHA GONNA SWING TONIGHT? Good question--and good music.

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY This RADIOLA! is not a Spaghetti Western--but is otherwise self-explanatory.

NO PIGEON HOLES This RADIOLA! can't be categorized. So why even try?<

Requests? Recommendations? Listeners are welcome to drop me a line.
