THE BOTTOMLESS PIT
I did a one-hour radio show on New York’s WFUV from 2011-18, every Saturday night (until it got switched to Sunday nights during late 2017). But the show originally started on WKZE in the Hudson Valley during 2005-6; then I brought it back at the station’s request during 2010. (RIP, station owner Will Stanley.)
I always loved doing the show and was proud of it. It was “a weekly roundup of items from my personal record collection”- a large percentage of the records that got played over the years were things that I had some kind of longstanding emotional connection with, but I also played lots of things that I happened to be discovering during the moment at hand.
It’s nice to be able to say that nobody at either station ever said a negative word to me about what I was playing, or suggested what I should be playing, etc., so the show was pure self-expression for me.
I eventually had to pull the plug on the whole thing for various reasons at the end of 2017, but thanks to a suggestion from webmaster Franklin Odel, I’ll be posting reruns of the show here on YouTube! Watch this space!..
