Episode 56: 15,000 Seconds of Live Radio
http://www.offbeat.com/news/video-washboard-lissa-nervous-duane/
This came up in my facebook memories <3. Anyways, special extended edition last Thursday as we were covering for Steve Williams’ show 9-11pm as well. Thank you to all you new friends and old ones for tuning in, tuning up, hanging out, etc., many thanks to Sharappa for all these videos and Natasha for the photons! The GoFundMe page to produce a live Musicians, Mentors, and Barroom Heroes album from the last season can be found here at gofundme.com/mmbrh ; please consider chipping in! (Or sharing with your social mediaites.) Half the proceeds will go to WHIV 102.3 FM New Orleans, the other half to the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic in honor of Washboard Lissa.
Episode 55: Hair in the Chair (+ help fund the CD!!)
Almost halfway to fundraising goal, and playlist from last Thursday’s show! Thanks to all the musicians and lurkers who hung out, and to my Annie and Dan (my aunt & uncle in from Massachusetts!) for hangin’ with all us crazies 🙂
If you like what you hear, please considering chipping in to help make our live album! All proceeds go to good causes: 50% to WHIV 102.3 FM, and 50% to the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic! Big thanks to all who have chipped in so far; every little bit helps!
Visit the GoFundMe link here to support the Musicians’ Clinic, badass community radio, and New Orleans music!
Episode 52 (S2): My Last Brain Cell is Called Custer
Fun 4-hr episode with a slew of familiar faces/guitars/etc back in the studio! The unofficial theme was, “Eh, fuck it,” but of course the actual theme was “?”.
Big thanks to Lili and Natasha for taking these pics! And this playlist is probably only 90% accurate (and maybe 60% in the correct order) because my brain spontaneously shut off approximately 75% of the way through the show. (Being away from New Orleans for a few months made me revert back to my natural state of being a perversely-early bird, plus the uptick in sobriety is always a jolt to the system….)
Episode 44: Sqrrlz & Grrlz!
Following the raging success of last week’s “Fishes n B!tches” fish fry, Musicians, Mentors, and Barroom Heroes brings you “Sqrrlz & Grrlz”, a Michael-Darby-homecooked squirrel stew (or something) on-air extravaganza, complete with alligator meat from Red DeVecca and a frozen rabbit/possum from Lou. Come for the sqrrlz, stay for the grrlz. (Or vice versa.) Tune in for the sizzle.
Episode #43: Fishes ‘n’ B!tches! (The September Buffa’s After-Party)
Fiiiiishes n Biiiitches!!! (aka Incest Fest ’17) Thank you to all the musicians who played and extra big thanks to Michael Darby for catching/cleaning/cooking all dat fish. Check out Stacey’s rockin’ “Hair on the Air” mohawk ‘do on Rose Cangelosi’s rockin’ head!
Also, thanks to Natasha Sanchez for hosting the pre-party(/party-party) at Buffa’s, Shawn for running boards, Stacey for taking pics, and everyone else who hung out: Amy Wingrave, Peter Huganir, Pizza Mike, Lumino Perseid, Lynn Drury, Smitti Supab, Corey Collins, Greg, Becca, Laaaaaurel, David Dunau, and my best and most clever friend, Liam DeFazio.
Episode #42: Washboard Lissa & the CatHouse Mamas ;)
Thanks to all the musicians who played, guest soundboard operators who operated, and Pizza Mikes who brought gas station chicken. Check out Margi Cates’ ‘do by Stacey Kelly Styling!
Most of all, thank you to Lissa Driscoll for changing so many lives for the better, keeping us all on our toes, and saying ‘fuck it’ in the appropriate instances. And of course for all the music. Rest recklessly. (And peacefully, too.)

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!)

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!
