Mid-Afternoon Memories
The music that you hear played on Mid-Afternoon Memories is essentially a tribute to all of the great musicians, vocalists, composers and arrangers who combined their talents to bring us some of the most popular and enduring music that you could wish to hear. Which of us hasn't heard these renditions before? But the arrangements are so melodic and pleasing to listen to and the lyrics so meaningful, that we instantly embrace the mood that they project, whether it be joyful, sorrowful or romantic, and we eagerly anticipate the next chorus. How wonderful it is to be able to hear this vast repertoire of big band music continuing through our lifetime. For more, stay tuned to WRDV-FM.

Top O' the Morning
Why would anyone be interested in those old things? --Jelly Roll Morton

Well, we're interested in "those old things," and maybe you are too. Daytimes, WRDV recalls our roots in those great Jazz and Swing tunes that immortalize the American Twentieth Century. Here's an invitation to pour another cup of coffee (and have another piece of pie?). Sit back and cruise the forenoon with our "Top O' the Morning" show. We'll feature the original hits of the '30s and '40s as well as a few classics from the late '20s or early 50s for fun. Take our "Just One Little Half Hour" Test. Lock your dial on "Top O' the Morning" for 30 minutes any Tuesday between 10 and Noon and see if our show doesn't live up to its name. We think you'll be interested--maybe even hooked.

Join me each Tuesday at High Noon for the big band classics as well as the great music of the male and female vocalists, the vocal groups and the top tunes of the early 50's. I explore the world of Big Bands with their beginnings and their endings and add a little background trivia of the musical artists for your enjoyment. Bringing back memories for you is my goal. I occasionally include a theme for the show as in a Latin American program or seasonal event. Your requests and suggestions are always welcome at RDV-FM.

Gospel Train
gospeltrain@comcast.net
"Gospel music is the blues dressed up on Sunday."
- Rev. Joseph Williams
Gospel music, derived from the field hollers, moans and chants of African-American slaves, gave rise to Rhythm and Blues and Soul Music. For a unique musical experience, grab your tickets and climb aboard the Gospel Train. Together we'll journey back thru gospel's "golden age" celebrating the music of the pioneers including the Soul Stirrers, Mahalia Jackson, Dixie Hummingbirds, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Blind Boys of Mississippi, and many others.

Roots of R & B
gospeltrain@comcast.net
"The Same beat we dance to on Saturday night is the same beat we shout to on Sunday morning." 
- Rev. Wyatt T. Walker
The Roots of Rhythm and Blues features blues shouters, jump bands, and vocal groups from the 1940s and 1950s. Essentially Rhythm and Blues is post World War II African-American urban dance music. Rooted in gospel and jazz, R&B exploded onto the music scene of Los Angeles, New York, and other cities with the help of juke boxes, radio stations, and independent record labels. Join me every Tuesday night as I explore smoky juke joints, dance halls, and street corners for the hottest R&B sounds of the 40s and 50s. You'll hear honking saxes, boogie-woogie pianos, sizzling guitars and hard driving songs about whiskey, women and loaded dice.

The music of your life. A pleasant mix of vocal standards from the 40's and 50's with the swing bands and also the later big bands. Sometimes a little Latin tempo is thrown in for flavor. From Artie Shaw to Si Zentner, and Doris, Dean, Frank and Patti. Requests are always welcome.

The show covers R&B, Blues and Rhythm, Jump Blues, Jump Jazz, Blues, Hep Vocal Harmonies, and a few surprises thrown in to keep me entertained and you on your toes. Every other week two specialty mini-shows, Soulville and Rockabilly Kin, are showcased. These two are designed to fill in the gaps that Rhythm Rides Again show cannot fit in easily. It's sharkskin sharp music. Finally, as time and circumstances allow, I have live in studio musical guests to play for you and me. It's truly a different approach to the roots of American music.
10pm - 1am John (Lefty) Rajca
Evening Shadows
Welcome to Evening Shadows, or more appropriately EVENING SHADOWS, PART TWO! You see, this compilation of R&B, DOO WOP, ROCK 'N' ROLL and even some ROCAKABILLY was first envisioned by one JACK (McNALLY) MAXWELL. A retired Abington Township Police Officer, he had achieved his dream of producing and hosting his own show--unfortunately a very short-lived dream. Cancer took him away on 11/25/07. Meanwhile, I as "Lefty", had begun filling in for him back in August and we e-mailed back and forth about show content and direction. His words of advice were: 'THIS IS YOUR SHOW NOW, DO WHAT YOU WANT/NEED TO DO.' So I have added more Motown, Philly Sound and Northern Soul. Oh, about me; I am also retired (Philly PD, Communications Division) and started in radio back in '69 courtesy of Uncle Sam's Army Signal Corps, then over 26 years in Fire Department Emergency and Police Radio, as well as, over 'NJC and 'VLT in Jersey (the latter a tribute show with "The Pole with Soul" remembering the RON DIAMOND exclusives and dances). Closing thought: 'While I'm alive there's a chance for me.' Thanks for listening!
-"Lefty"-

Time Was
"Time Was" is all about"remembering a time that was,but never forgotten". My show features big band swing from the 30's through the 50's; the known bands and vocalists along with the little known bands and vocalists. I also introduce THE GREAT BRITISH DANCE BANDS from the 30's, 40's and 50's with such orchestras as Ray Noble, Ambrose, Geraldo, Ted Heath and Charlie Kunz, along with the vocalists: Al Bowlly, Vera Lynn and Anne Shelton, to name a few. I also treat my listeners to a generous offering of Latin American dance music from such artists as Xavier Cugat, Edmundo Ros, Roberto Inglez and Carmen Cavallaro. An integral part of the show are the male, female and group vocalists that evolved after the big band era; I take the RDV listener up through the late 50's and maybe the very early 60's, with the likes of Dean Martin, Joni James, The Four Aces, The Crew Cuts....the list goes on!

Original Bandbox
I feature rare and unusual recordings of the 20s, 30s and 40s by bands large and small, famous and forgotten, along with vocals and novelty tunes of the era. I present Jazz, Popular Music and Hot Dance recordings selected from a very large collection amassed over the last fifty years.

The Bandbox also plays recordings that are one of a kind.test pressings and acetate recordings never intended for commercial release; alternate takes of issued recordings where a sideman plays a solo differently from the issued version; Transcriptions originally meant to be played by commercial stations and never available for sale to the general public; Personal or vanity records sold by the bands themselves at their public appearances; West Coast sides that were local releases--(local or territorial bands recorded only sporadically and fitfully and many legendary bands never entered a recording studio).

I try to add a related fact or anecdote connected with the recordings, adding depth and historical importance. I also point out well-played solos and identify future bandleaders as they honed their style. Each artist has his own style similar to a fingerprint and learning to identify them and their playing at different stages of their development brings added enjoyment.

I also play English, European and Australian recordings, as well as sides cut in this country for export abroad. These are identical to U.S. Issues, but have no vocals. Instead, an extended solo takes its place. So for the best and most unusual recordings from the Twenties through the late Forties, join me on the Original Bandbox Thursdays at 6 PM!
