Because I really am so cool, I was invited to be a guest on publisher Angel Ackerman’s “Take The Mike,” recorded at WDVR (find it here) the other day. Angel, a wonderful editor and publisher (she’s published and edited yours truly), asked me to join her on the show she recorded with Carla VanDyk about the intersection of books and music. We gabbed over ‘School House’ rock songs, plenty of others, and I was lucky enough to sing and play one of my kid’s songs, “The Ballad of Otto the Oak,” live in the studio.
It was a grand old time for a radio broadcast to be broadcast later.
I happen to love WDVR. It’s radio of the old-school variety that I love so much, with an eclectic mix of shows featuring an equally eclectic mix of music, played by DJ’s that just love what they are spinning and know so much about it. It reminds me of the days when you could listen for hours to a broadcast, be given a whole bunch of info as well as some great anecdotes from shows that were hosted by such interesting and informed personalities.
These were the truly wonderful days of radio I grew up with. I’m sorry, but satellite streaming, etc., does not, nor will it ever, compare for me with what creative radio used to be…and still is at WDVR. Imagine how great radio was in those days before T.V.!
To finish this, visit FU I’m from New Jersey!
