We WORLD PREMIEREd brand new original acoustic live ditties and brand new freshly recorded album tracks. We reprised the WORLD PREMIERE of Musicians, Mentors, and Barroom Heroes by having Marc “Pepe Peligroso” Paradis back on the air. (On the civilian side of the air, that is–he is also a DJ at WHIV.) I think I am capitalizing WORLD PREMIERE to evoke the PHYSICAL CHALLENGE of Rory Danger, who we also spun. What fun!!
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!
MMBRH#30: Another Great Songwriter Night and Passing of the Bottles Both Ways Around the Circle :O
Inter-parish Carnival fiesta, from St. Bernard to the Treme! Playlist below.
Big thanks to the Vanilla Gorilla and the Suntan Superman aka Frank andBoom of the Old Arabi Bar, their pal Jacob, Pizza Mike, and Big Chief Kevin Goodman for agreeing to be part of this madcap variety show (Reynard Green was detained at work on account of some sports, but we’ll get him back soon), Vanessa Niemann aka Gal Holiday and Lynn Drury for swooping in unexpectedly and adding to the merriment, Wade Burnham for always providing killer getaway music (The Super Sounds of Sunday, 11p-1a every week, folks), and Jim Smith (current title-holder for most on-air mentions in the category of undersung New Orleans musicalheroes) with the lovely Angelo for graciously hosting the after-party.
