Mostly Singles: Their First Recording (No, Really) (Audio)

Apr 28, 2020
Hosted by Michael Wilde.
Host Michael Wilde offers a homespun quaff of calm-me-down to lift soul and spirit. "Their First Recording (No, Really)" is a feast of firsts from the greats — before anyone knew their names. Thomas Waller, Bing, Frank, early Janis, the original Flamingos, prepubescent Buddy Holly, a host of early wonders. March was a scratch – here is the show – really -- rough-hewn and from the heart.

Claverack resident Michael Wilde presents Mostly Singles, selections from an extensive collection of 45 rpm vinyl — music from the 1950s, '60s, '70s and early '80s, mixed with some 78 rpm selections from American popular song and field recordings from the Library of Congress and folklore archives. Broadcast live from the Hudson studio.
