We are into the first week of April and although it is officially Spring there is every night on the news the threat of more snow. When will it ever end, soon I trust. Late April, early May marks the 50th anniversary of the very first radio show that I ever did. 50 years of doing this and I'm not tired of it yet, rather I look forward to each and every show with renewed excitement. The thrill of sharing what I consider to be the best rock n roll ever recorded is what keeps me going each week. When I sit down in Studio 2 at 88.1fm & WCWP.org, open up that microphone and hit the play button on the first song it is such a rush of pleasure. On May 5th I am receiving a lifetime achievement award for 37 years of doing this particular program, it is nice to be recognized by my peers at the station. I have heard various people in the music industry complain about the lack of good music coming out so far this year. I on the other hand am so totally happy with the material that I have gotten this year to share with my listeners. I get to play great tunes twice a week and am just loving it more and more each and every year with, God willing, no end in sight. I just found out this week that I'll be going back to Soulfest in August to teach a seminar on the convergence of art, faith and imagination. I am looking forward to this as well as seeing old New England friends such as Jim Trick, Courtney Reid, Dan Russell, Michael Pritzl & Lights For Landing and hearing them share their music. Also this week I learned that we will, as we have for over 25 summers now, be giving away tickets for Splish Splash Water Park out on Long Island. It is going to be a good Summer!!! Be sure to check out the best rock n roll on the radio every Friday night at 9 and Sunday evening at 5, NY Time of course, on 88.1fm & WCWP.org.
