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 Monday between 8 and Noon and see if our show doesn't live
up to its name. We think you'll be interested--maybe even
hooked.

Scarlett Bay's Swing Café

Since I was a little girl riding my bike, balancing a blue transistor
radio on the handlebars, I've been entranced by the magic of radio.

between noon and 3PM? We'll let the music cast its spell.

The Record Shoppe

I inherited my love of big band music from my father, Harry. I'm
very happy to be the host of The Record Shoppe every Monday
afternoon from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, a one-stop Shoppe for great musical
selections including big band, swing, jazz and standards of the late
20's through the early 50's. I'm also a nurse
practitioner with over 25 years of critical care experience. My other
"loves" include my Bouvier des Flandres, "Doogie",
and playing the Scottish bagpipes with Cairngorm Pipes and Drums.

Hear great music from the early 50s, including doowop, R&B, and

again every Saturday night at the Record Hop.
It's up-tempo from 8 to 9, then I "dim the lights"
and finish with an hour of love ballads.
I have also been known to have special guests from time to time;
recording artists from the era who discuss their careers and
contributions to the soundtrack of our lives.
Music and memories...only at the Record Hop.
