Last night’s playlist! Might have skipped a few. (Episode 40. We are officially over the hill!)
Episode #40: Back to Black (feat. Amy Winehouse Hair-on-the-Air)
Category Archives: Show Archive
Episode #39: Irresistible Saloon Hair
Thank you to Renard Boissiere, Andre Lovett, and Nervous Duane for playing/reading live, big thanks always to Pizza Mike and his plethora of gas station snacks, hurray for Stacey Leigh Bridewell (Stacey Kelly Vintage Styling and her hot rollers for getting me back to my roots being a widowed saloon owner during the last gold rush (“widowed” as in, “hip and unattached”), my fave Brandy Roden for schlepping over from Arabi, and congrats to Corey Collins for working a fourteen hour day then running a great second show! (“Under the Influence”, 11p-1a.) Playlist below.
Episode #38: You Can Call Me “Sand” (The August Buffa’s After-Party)
Thanks so much to all the songwriters who came out and played after this afternoon’s Songwriter Circle feat Cary Hudson, Jean Bayou, Natasha Sanchez at Buffa’s Bar & Restaurant, plus Patrick Cooper driving in from somewheres and the eternally-uninvited Shawn Williams debuting a new song. Thank you to Stacey Kelly Vintage Styling for the amazing hair-do, and congrats to Corey Collins starting his new show “Under the Influence” (11p-1a on Sunday nights!) [Tune in Mondays now, for the Super Sounds of Sunday with Just Wade. 7-9pm!]
Bad jokes, great music, new gimmicks. Walk-ins welcome. Playlist below!
Episode #37: Lady-Party After-Party & the Resting “Ancient Maya Face”
A particularly insane evening at 102.3 WHIV FM! Featuring all sorts of unlikely parties partying together. Old hats, new hands, no dogs, neat tricks, etc. The inception of “Hair on the Air”, I think our greatest gimmick yet, because I have a great face for radio and clearly need my hair in hot rollers while wearing headphones. Ha! Check out Stacey Kelly Styling, y’all.
And of course we heard some great tunes, both live and recorded. Thanks to everyone who hung out and tuned in! Every Sunday night, folks. (As close-knit as we sound on-air, many of us just met each other and/or actually hate each other, so you’re more than welcome to come join the fray. 🤣 I won’t make you use the microphone.) Also, consider becoming a station member at whivfm.org / .com! Community radio, every little bit helps!
Episode #36: They Call Him “Bonedaddy”
Mayhem + live original music! We’ve got Lane “They Call Him Bonedaddy” (and his awesome wife Jamie) and Red DeVecca on bass (if you tune in on the regular you’ve heard Red’s not-family-friendly tales of days of yore playing with Ernie K-Doe, Professor Longhair, and Snooks Eaglin…), one of my earliest/favoritist New Orleans friends Isabella Morrison, famous Big Daddy’s lurker and karaoke maestro James Nettles, and all those other people I extracted drunken promises from last night! I believe Nervous Duane said something about reading science fiction excerpts. And this just in, songster Jamey St Pierre and his daughter And, apparently Shawn Williams is still alive and will be rolling out of bed to join us too! (#BlameWanda.) Plus, you! (Get at me, this is an all-inclusive fiesta, and my car is full of booze.)
Episode #35: Buffa’s Songwriter Circle After-Party (Jul)
Live tunes from Carolyn Broussard, Lili Dove, everyone I could kidnap from Natasha Sanchez’s songwriter circle at Buffa’s that afternoon! (#WhoNat, Chip Wilson, Peter Orr was detained, unfortunately.) Playlist below! Thank you to all of you playa’s, lurkers, and tuners-in! A special thanks to Pizza Mike for the gas station food, which is “a new concept” to him. Adieu, Lili Dove, thank you for the little black dress, and be back soon!
Episode #34: Wholesome Tidbits
Kicking things off with Jennifer Callan telling us about the Bywater Toys For Tots Christmas In July Party and some sweet live tunes from Mike Dill and Jonathan David Tankel (the Mutineers)! Lane “They Call Him Bonedaddy” in the house, that great bassist Red DeVecca telling a few tales from days of yore, vinyl junkie Corey Collins, co-horst Pizza Mike… whoever else wanders in. Playlist below!
Episode #33: Poaching From The Mint
Lawd! What a crew. I harassed Jamey St Pierre and Ted Hefko to be on the show after an intimate performance with Dick Deluxe at the US Mint, and all these other great folks showed up too. Thank you so much to everyone that played, read, chatted, took pictures, refrained from barking, and lurked around in such a way as to cultivate the warm, wacky atmosphere that makes Sunday nights at 102.3 WHIV FM such a blast. Thank you Josh for these beautiful pics!
Episode #32: Arabi Open Mic Field Trip
Last night’s playlist! Thank you oodles to everyone who played (Dominique & Carly, Ukulele Jake, #WhoNat, #WhoPat, and JP) as well as Joshua Nelson Straume, Zachary Nelson Smith Esq, Andrew, Peter Huganir, and co-horst Pizza Mike for hanging out. My heartwarms were really acting up by the time JP played “Whisky” A few folks’ first time on air, woohoo! Continue reading
