Global A Go-Go presents:
Well, the COVID finally caught up with me this week. Seems to be a mild case so far, but I certainly couldn’t come into the studio and I really didn’t have the energy to put together a whole new program. So I’ve dug into the Global A Go-Go archives and found you a gem of a show from all the way back on December 19, 2014, back in the days when I was on the air on Friday evening.
This edition (Sunday August 7, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards on the wrir.org archive player, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site) pulls together tracks from my favorite reissues, compilations and historic recordings that came out in the year 2014. The music spans 19 different countries, with songs originally recorded in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90, oughts and right through the 20-teens. Each selection has stood the test of time, both before 2014 and subsequently. I think you’re going to enjoy this program.
I’ll be out again next week on August 14; WRIR super-sub Sean Kennedy, who definitely deserves his own show, will be sitting in for me then. And I have something very special planned for you when I return on August 21. I’ll see you then!
