I did a one-hour radio show on New York’s WFUV from 2011-18, 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. ...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. #Crenshaw #bigband #swingera #drummers

Bottomless Pit #105 Salute to Duke/Peacock Records

#105- (7/6/13) Aug. 27, 2016- Duke/Peacock Records

The slightly oddball thing about this one is that it’s a 2016 rerun version of a show from 2013- I couldn’t find the original show files..

Anyway, this is, musically one of the best BPs EVER, for my money- it’s a salute to the great record man/show-business entrepreneur Don Robey of Houston, Texas ca. 1949- 69 and his incredible family of record labels: Peacock, Duke, Back Beat, and all the others.

We honor the legacy, celebrate the history, and revel in the sounds of The Blind Boys of Mississippi, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Johnny Ace, Willie Mae Thornton, The Sensational Nightingales, and all the rest. This one will, or should, definitely make you say God Bless America!

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!..
