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.

SHELLAC FOR A SUMMER NIGHT This RADIOLA! proffers more rare and delightful selections to enhance a summer evening.

I HATE MUSIC! Well, not really. This RADIOLA! is an animadversion on too much of what our neighbors think is a good thing.

THE JOY OF SAX This RADIOLA! is in tribute to Al Gallodoro's 96th birthday anniversary.We celebrate with some rare radio recordings and other Gallodoro gems, plus performances by Rudy Wiedoeft, Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Carter, and Freddy Gardner.

RARE BITS This RADIOLA! goes back to shellac for 30 rare and strange delights from recent record auctions, eBay coups, and serendipitous stumblings.

RADIOLA CALLING! RADIOLA! begins its fifth year on WHCL-FM, and this RADIOLA! is just like all the other ones, only different.

BG 100 This RADIOLA! offers a tribute to Benny Goodman in honor of the 100th anniversary of his birth.

LUCKY DIP This RADIOLA! is another foray into the shellac pile for some lucky (and Luckey) finds.

WHERE'S THE CRUNCH? For this RADIOLA! I've used mainly selections in which the "shellac sizzle" has been greatly reduced.

THE BIG ODOMETER This RADIOLA! celebrates (and somewhat deplores) the process of aging.

TWELVE This RADIOLA! is a mixtape offered in celebration of my twelfth wedding anniversary.

GOIN' TO TOWN This RADIOLA! is an effective mixture of last week's leftovers, some great jazz bands, and other delights.

SHELLAC SURPLUS This RADIOLA! concedes that you can't spell "shellac" without "she."

SHELLAC SURFEIT This RADIOLA! is all about the source documents.

IT AIN'T RIGHT This RADIOLA! attempts to redress various radio crimes and misdemeanors, some of which hit very close to home.

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