Back in the late 70's... yes, last century!... I was a quasi-famous DJ on a local public radio station broadcasting from the local University. For about 5 years, Rev. Willis (my nom de plume) presented great shows, featuring often eclectic playlists. Local listeners got their first taste of reggae, punk rock, experiment music, and free jazz. Brit power pop, SF post psychedelic groups, Sun Ra, and so much more.
I was joined by my good friend Smokey, whose Blues Hour is legendary. As we hit the 80's, I retired to raise a young family, but a new public radio station emerged and a new DJ, Professor R&B started a run of excellent programs of rhythm and blues, early jazz, and funk.
A few years ago, after digitizing many cassettes and reel to reel tapes, with the help of webmaster Rodney, we posted these shows on a website: Archived Airwaves.
What has this to do with audiophile cheapskate? Well, maybe the audio quality is not the best, but it's free music! And what music! The best popular music ever recorded... give a free listen and enjoy.
