< MUSICAL PICK OF THE MOMENT:

"I Wanna Rock" by Patsy Holcomb, 1957

A very appealing rocker that should have been a hit! Features the rather sexy voice of Patsy Holcomb singing about rockin' at a local honky tonk. This was recorded on Sun Records so that means there's a wonderful warm sound to this Rockabilly number. The pianist sounds like Jerry Lee Lewis and the piano solo is just outstanding! Same for the electric guitar solo! Has that liquid bluesy sound of Roland Janes but I don't know the identity of the session artists. This is a really fine record to play when you're in the mood to dance!

Play List

While I was broadcasting on December 1, 2006, a listener called me up to make a very good suggestion: that I keep an online play list of the Golden Oldies records I play on each show! Just so everyone knows, I started out on radio as a trainee on WSRN - Swarthmore, Pa. in the fall of 1975. In those days, even on a college radio station, you had to take a written test from the F.C.C. (Federal Communications Commission) in order to get your license as a Third Class Radiotelephone Operator. Consequently, my real on-air radio career did not start until Sunday, February 1, 1976 at 5:00 a.m. when I played my very first song. It was "Speedo" by the Cadillacs (1955).

I remained a d.j. on WSRN until May 1979. My next radio experience took place Summer 1984 - July 1987 when I hosted a Blues and also sometimes a Gospel program on WDNA - Miami. After that I hosted both a Golden Oldies and a Calypso Carnival show on WUNH - Durham, N.H. from January 1988 - June 1992.

Finally, in May 1998 I joined WEGL - Auburn, Ala. as host of the Golden Oldies. Just wanted to let you all know that even though my online listing of radio show play lists only reflects the current academic semester, I've actually broadcasted many hundreds, possibly even a thousand or two thousand radio shows off and on since February 1, 1976!

NOTICE: As I have typed in these playlists, I have come to the realization that this web site is becoming a bit too long, so starting with the Summer 2007 Semester, I think I will only provide playlists for the length of the current semester. This means I will delete the playlists of the previous semester at the start of the new semester. Since this is University-supplied server space, I know I will eventually run into server space limits anyway. Thank you for taking note.
