Play it Again

Denro’s brother is living the radio DJ dream I lived for a while, but gave up, so long ago. He’s covering the overnight shift on MVY Radio, on Martha’s Vineyard. Yeah, the island off the Cape Cod shore where the Obamas have an expensive house, but without any top secret documents in the basement.

Monday night Rich played one of my very favorite “recent” (2010) tunes, and I didn’t even request it.

Radio, Radio

Somebody says that today is National Radio Day. So be it.

My 1942 Zenith 8-S-661 console radio

In 1978, after my DJ shift at the radio station, where my net pay was $100/week ($450 today), I’d be in the production studio working on writing and recording commercials. I’d return to my $25/week rented basement room and listen to an amazing new album.

Correction: I checked, and I was taking home $97/week.
