    Halfway through 2019. Yes, I realize that first sentence-like structure has no verb, no action word. But verb or no verb, the music we play on Woody Radio is chock full of action. This show was no exception. Although we didn’t explicitly bill it as such, I guess that it’s our Independence Day show, as…

    “Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?” Yes, this is my 64th show on Woody Radio. And I’m hoping you still need me–or at least the music that I play. But even if you don’t, I’ll come back next week for another try. Speaking of Woody Radio–this was the…

    Ok, I’m gonna cut right to the chase. Wait–the is the second week in a row where I’ve cut to the chase. What exactly IS this “chase” that everybody keeps cutting to? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Apparently, it’s pretty popular. So popular, that I’ve cut to it twice now, and…

    Ok, let’s cut right to the chase. We are 60 episodes old now. The management at Woody Radio continues to leave me unsupervised on Tuesday nights, and I run roughshod all over the airwaves. I play weird segues. I mix sounds together that aren’t traditionally heard on radio. I play bands with funny names (if…

    On this week’s show, we welcomed back New York City-based Karen Haglof, to celebrate the release of her new album Tobiano. Karen’s had an interesting and varied career, to be sure. She’s been a chef, she’s a physician, and she’s an equestrian. As if that weren’t enough for a couple of lifetimes, she’s also a…

    This was my so-called triumphant return to radio! I’d been on vacation for over a week, and off the air for a couple of weeks. Yes, I was observing radio silence. But I couldn’t wait to get back on the air. As the old saying goes, I was tanned, rested and ready. (Trivia question: where…

    Did you know that Robyn Hitchcock once recorded a song with the word “radio” in the chorus, and a Sacramento reference in one of the verses? I can’t tell you how much that’s always tickled me, and we started off this week’s show with that one. Honestly, the Sacramento reference seems so random–and if I…

    This week’s show was fun. Well, for me, anyway. But I hope you found it fun as well, or are about to find it fun. Well, what is “fun”, anyway? For me, fun is discovering new music, and having some great musicians send me their latest as soon as they’re ready for people to hear…

    Double overtime. 55 songs. Introducing an audience to brand new for 2019 music. This show had all of that, and more. 2019 is shaping up to be the year where lots of my long time favorites are putting out new albums. Some of them, like The Bobbleheads, The Decibels, Trip Wire, Matt Langlois (of The…

    This week’s show was a minor milestone for me. It marks the 50th time that I snuck onto the Woody Radio airwaves, and did a show! I started the show back in November, 2017, and haven’t looked back. So how we celebrate? Well, in a few ways. We did some odd and inspiring segues, not…
