I had no prior notice about the latest DJ gig by Tom Hanks. It’s starting right this very instant on Boss Radio 66! It will be re-played through Thanksgiving Day.

New Amp for Old Music
Once again we have the opportunity for a musical visit with good, ol’ R. Crumb, who has been living in France for — YOWZA! — 32 years. Robert is delving into 78’s that are even more obscure than his usual fare.
I see that I’m not the only one with an audio acquisition. That appears to be a Marantz amp of fairly recent vintage in Crumb’s listening room.
Let’s Twist Again
Jim Dawson occasionally moonlights from his Wednesday night “Not Fade Away” gig on Luxuria Music, to guest host KPFK’s “Rhapsody in Black” show. The November 18 episode is Jim’s tribute to his late friend, the legendary R&B talent Hank Ballard. If you do some twisting of the scroll wheel, it should be available in the station’s archive for a couple of weeks.

Ballard wrote and performed “The Twist”…
… but of course Chubby Checker’s record was the big hit.
Pitch-Perfect
The unmistakable voice of Jo Stafford.
For Your Listening Pleasure
Some easy listening from Wrightson Tongue, just right for this dark and rainy morning.

Don’t know how I missed this CBS coverage of the band four years ago, but here it is now.
