I was on the radio at midnight..

[Christiern]

The station is WBAI in NYC, which I ran many moons ago. I will be a guest of Bob Fass, whom I rehired many moons ago. I have been rather critical of WBAI on my blog, so I guess Bob and I will be talking about that, but we will also, inevitably, do some reminiscing. He also asked me to bring stuff. Unfortunately (or perhaps, not) WBAI no longer has a single tape machine, so I can't bring any of my old shows (Bob had requested that), but I will bring some of the sessions I have produced over the past 57 years—they do have CD players, and they sometimes work. WBAI is a very poor listener-sponsored station.

If you are in the New York area, you can tuned it in at 99.5 on the FM dial. It is also streamed around the world via wbai.org. If you want to hear it at a more convenient time, an online archive will have it for a few weeks, I think. If you don't want to hear it at all, I fully understand.

Here's a link to my angry outbursts re WBAI, a station that I truly continue to love and see slipping into that bland radio land. There are several installments of my rant, but one links to the next.

If you do listen, I would be interested in feedback.

Say hi to Lou from the whole gang at the organissimo forum.

Listening right now...you're talking about the sinking of the Reuben James and your travels across the Atlantic during WWII.

I listened from the start to just after the Lonnie Donegan recording. Fun stuff. Reminiscing in tempo as it were. Both you guys have fantastic memories and fantastic memories if you get my drift. Who'd have thought Yoko Ono once worked at WBAI filing music. That's too funny.

She shouldn't have quit her day job.

Look forward to giving this a listen on the computer later.
