After the noon local news, a tribute to one of host Spike Priggen's musical heroes, Dwight Twilley (June 6, 1951 – October 18, 2023), who sadly passed away last week. Twilley was an American pop/rock singer and songwriter, best known for the Top 20 hit singles "I'm on Fire" (1975) and "Girls" (1984). His music is associated with the power pop style. Twilley and Phil Seymour performed as the Dwight Twilley Band through 1978, and Twilley performed as a solo act afterward. "The Bedazzled Radio Hour" features pop, rock, and soul obscurities from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond, including freakbeat, baroque rock, glam, bubblegum, pop-psych, sunshine pop, garage rock, girl groups, British invasion, punk, funk, new wave, Northern soul, and more. Live most weeks from Spike's Record Rack, a record store on Main Street in Catskill.

Spike Priggen is a singer, songwriter, musician, and record store owner currently based in the Hudson Valley. He is the former editor and publisher of the retro pop culture blogs Bedazzled.tv and Scopitones.com. Priggen broadcasts live from Spike's Record Rack, his record store on Main Street in Catskill.
