ARCHIVE

In this broadcast, rare, obscure and seldom-heard gems — wonderful flips from hard-to-find 45s, along with crisp shellac from the 20s and 30s: Frank Stokes, Billy Cotton, Three Stripped Gears, Prophet, Chocolate Watch Band, Bottom and Company; more Bats, Tall Dwarfs, and Blind Willie Dunn. Golden treasure.

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 from the Hudson studio.
