The following year another four shows were made (under same title) and these are the ones mentioned by Captain Hardy above. Note the latter four shows are easy to find if you google.

In retrospect, it is kinda funny that the show was released on a small rural PA station. But I credit a number of people working there for giving us the greenlight - meaning a studio, engineers, etc etc. Wouldn't have happened otherwise!Jerry Zoltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026084259045419959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13401748.post-68883028771400599992012-12-19T21:06:00.970-05:002012-12-19T21:06:00.970-05:00You never have to trick me into listening to the b...You never have to trick me into listening to the blues. Glad to hears it's all seeing a formal release. I didn't mean to denigrate WPSU... I just was surprised by the selection. He could really have gone anywhere and apparently he just did that on the spur of the moment. How very Crumb of him.

The show was a result of our longtime personal "chimpin'" sessions on rarities from both of our collections. R was in town on a visit and the thought occurred that maybe we could trick people into listening to the blues and such by packaging the material as an entertainment. It was, after all, supposedly "The Year of the Blues." So we did it and there you have it. Happy to report that soon the program will be released in both CD and Vinyl LP formats replete with Crumb illustrations and notes. Producer and label owner John Heneghan of the East River String Band has remastered the tracks so that the sound will be top shelf! Will keep you posted. Thanks for liking the show.

But after listening to my 2002 files again I would have to believe your guide is correct.<br /><br />An announcer introduces the first show by saying "we welcome back R. Crumb". In addition, Crumb mentions the letters he got since the first series asking about the meaning of sweet shellac, which he then explains. <br /><br />I just posted the audio files to my blog, if you interested.Captain Howdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546897606849173885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13401748.post-17672039540641255782011-10-22T18:55:33.773-04:002011-10-22T18:55:33.773-04:00Thanks for pointing that out.

That KSAN is probably worth a blog post or three at some point; it inherited the freeform legacy (and airstaff) of the original KMPX when the KMPX staff walked over union issues circa 1967-68. <br /><br />And remarkably, that KSAN was corporate-owned, albeit by Metromedia, which somehow had a good thing going with freeform radio in that era - WNEW-FM, WMMR, WMMS, KMET and KSAN.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05832736511127058645noreply@blogger.com
