Mostly Singles: A Better Place (Audio)
Oct 26, 2023
Sail on a cloud of magic vinyl to a place where the spirit is lifted and light. This month the show wrote itself – and what a list! Jubalaires, Charlie Burse and the Memphis Jug Band, Ponce Sisters, Gloria Jones, Ed Land and His Orchestra, Louisiana Sugar Babes, Soul Survivors, Kinks, Yachts, Wade Ward and so much more. An oasis of beauties and rare delights. Rebroadcast from Oct. 24, 2023.
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 WGXC Acra Studio.
