Hi, folks!
If you missed Friday's broadcast don't fret. You can find the (always free) archive here. Thanks for listening.
In this episode we paid tribute to legends Joe Clay and Jean Shepard, both of whom passed away last week; featured new music by Miss Amy Griffin (Rockin' Records 45), Jittery Jack and Darrel Higham; sent eighty-first birthday wishes to Jerry Lee Lewis (who will never know how much his records mean to our program); enthused about last weekend's New England Shake-Up--wow, what a fantastic event!; and played lots of other rockin' selections, old and new. We hope you enjoy the show. (Remember, you can listen anytime--on iTunes, or by going to my web site.)
Primitive Sounds (one of Boston's longest-running DJ nights) has a new home base: Brass Union in Somerville. We're there spinning records the second and last Wednesday of every month, starting at 8:00 PM. Next time out (October 12) I'll be sharing the decks with DJ Panda!
The Raging Teens just scheduled a 20th anniversary show in Boston (December 23) and Easy Ed's Record Hop is proud to be part of the event.
In closing, I want to mention that my radio station, WMFO in Medford, is running a fundraiser to keep our all-volunteer/student station operating. If you enjoy my show, I encourage you to toss a dollar or two in the collection plate--and to te'll 'em you listen to "Easy Ed's Variety Hour" when you do. Much appreciated! You can donate here.
Take care, everyone!
