Radio Free D'ni

A show containing some fine examples of both Todd Rundgren solo work and with his band Utopia. Preshow consisted of songs produced by Todd and postshow had notable covers of Todd songs.  This show was put together by Hugh Lynch, and Hugh was with us in the show too. Some technical issues hit us on…

Part 2 of the Steely Dan set.  More diversity here, dealing with the peregrinations of Becker and Fagen after the split of Steely Dan and their eventual revival.  Album production work and collaborations with other artists let us expand the coverage even wider. A great show,not drawing a big audience to begin with but one…

An excellent set of tracks and someone we’ve never covered before. And despite it being the Memorial Day weekend in the US (oh, why can’t se coordinate public holidays better), we had 22 listeners for most of the show. Pre and post-show music were by artists that Zappa admired, a category with very few entries.…

We had failed to notice that it was Mother’s Day in the US and so our audience was less than expected. Undaunted, a comprehensive show was presented covering Steely Dan from first steps to greatest triumph, the album Aja. Preshow was mainly early demos, with the addition of a track from Jay and the Americans…

Our Earth day show was appreciated by all those attending, which included some new faces. I managed to write some rather convoluted prose, but Ed, Mal and Root Beer coped admirably.  Audience numbers peaked at 24, a welcome recovery from the spring break lows. Since we started with Messages From Earth, from the Babylon 5…

Broadcast on April 1st, which also happened to be Easter Sunday, our audience was smaller than usual, which we should have expected if we’d noticed the significance of the date in time. Preshow contained two Pentangle tracks, one long one to start with so that people had plenty of opportunity to get the channel connected.…

A second dip into our stash of songs with compelling hooks, memorable music and something that makes you want to Turn It Up. The show went down well, with an audience of 20 or so. Combining two different presenter’s choices of compelling tracks proved popular once again, and also gave a wide spread of music.…

Another very satisfying show, with 15 listeners online during the preshow, rising to a maximum of 29. Preshow starts at M and moves on to P in my stash, and the postshow included alternative takes and tracks referred to in the main show. The reason I mentioned that no frogs were harmed by the inclusion…

A fine romantic evening’s entertainment was shared with up to 29 listeners at one point. Preshow from my stash again, some Little Feat, Swarbrick/Carthy, The Melrose Quartet with a fine piece of anti-war sentiment, composed by Carthy, and after that some Michael Chapman, with added Mick Ronson and Rick Kemp. The show walked the listener…
