Mostly Singles: The “Lucky 13 Pledge Drive” Show (Audio)

Feb 27, 2024

Help us keep transmitting our shows, and for your kind sustaining support tonight we’ll be hearing vintage 78 shellac, a rare 45, composers at the keyboard, and gems from a faraway place: Chris Knox, The Clean, Fats Waller and His Rhythm, Delmores, Hanshaw, Everything But the Girl; Jubalaires, Smith, Sylvester Weaver and more. Beauties from Bluebird, Okeh, Harmony and Scepter; collectors’ acetates, one-off labels, Cherry Red and Flying Nun. A cornucopia. Come be a member. Let’s do it.

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.
