Great episode! Below is an extended playlist; wouldn’t have had time to play everything cuz we had so many guest/audience requests phoned/”phoned” in. Yay! Thanks to Elise, Corey, Jim, Natasha, and Dick for pickin tunes.
During the 7-8 hour, had my pal Richard “Dick Deluxe” Egner in the studio with his old friend Richard Marriott, founder of the Club Foot Orchestra. They talked about their work with that ensemble, a San Francisco-born, performance art-centric group that made a name for itself providing complex soundtracks to classic silent movies (check out their website here: http://www.clubfootorchestra.com/) and also played a couple of lovely duets! (I always love having brass instruments in the studio.) Big thanks to Elisabeth Beaird for taking photos of the Richards, and to Natasha Sanchez for this photo of Jim Sniff I klepto’d from a different episode, see below.
During the second hour, had my dear friends Kyle Bonasso and Corey Collins shootin’ the sh!t with me, spinning tunes, and reminiscing about the good ol’ days (like, 2 months for this kid…) working at Peaches Records. Be sure to check out Hash Cabbage, the funky, improvisational rock band Kyle is the newest member of. They’re playing DMac’s this Wednesday! And tune into Corey’s show on WHIV, “Under the Influence”. Every Sunday, 11pm-1am!
And, Jim Smith!! One of my favorite local songwriters, played three live tunes near the end of the hour and shared some tales of the beloved weirdos that populate(d) the Quarter. Which is, after all, one of the original main premises of this show.
