Mostly Singles: Their First Recording (Audio)

Mar 24, 2020
Join host Michael Wilde for a healthy quaff of calm-me-down to lift all souls and spirits. "Their First Recording" is a cornucopia of firsts from the greats — before anyone knew their names. Thomas Waller, Bing, Frank, early Janis, the original Flamingos, prepubescent Buddy Holly, the Beat Brothers (guess who?), and a host of early wonders (him too!). Live from the WGXC Hudson Studio.

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.
