Interesting, especially as the radio programms on local radio from saturday noon onwards are mainly about local sports while the regular national ones are featuring DJ's that think their babbling is funny.

I rarely listen to local radio anymore. I have got internet radio which is amazing, and now, there are these podcasts, 150 hours of broadcasts dedicated to all aspects of rock 'n' roll.

Way back in the late 80s, I used to have my own weekly, later daily, radio show at a local station (that despite being local reached a potential audience of many thousands). I could play whatever I wanted, no pressure at all, so it was rock and roll all the way. On August 16, 1987, we did a 16-hour Elvis tribute show, from 8 am till midnight, ending with "Can't Help Falling In Love" from the 1977 Indianapolis concert. Another time, I played the entire MDQ session, stopping just to turn the records over. Good times.

That sounds fantastic. Was all of this recorded?

It was broadcast 100% live. I did everything, which was so cool. I had two turntables. One was on the air, and meanwhile I was adjusting the next record in the other. We also had a double cassette player, mostly used for the publicity, and the occasional song that I did not have on record. I think I have on tape the very last show I did, in 1989, and maybe one another. The very last clip I played was Alan Freed's 1959 farewell to his fans. I don't know how many people noticed it, but there it was.

That was cool. Not goodbye, Alan Freed, but then it was.

If anyone is interested in discographies, this is a cool place to see some real interesting ones.
