Scratchy Vinyl October (whoa!) 1 , 2011

A Beautiful Morning in the Dale!  This week has had some of the nicest days southern Illinois has seen since spring!  First day of October, the leaves are starting to change into the various warm hues of reds and orange, the hunters are preparing for their season, and the days are shrinking along.  Remember to keep track of all the festivals happening around southern Illinois this month, and be sure to get out and enjoy one of the best times of year to get out and go into the Shawnee (when the biters start to ebb, the poisin ivy turns bright red,  and our snakes crawl off to bed…)
And don’t forget to stop at the farmers market this month! All the beautiful apples and sweet potatos, squash and fall greens, and great people of course, are winding down for the year… Don’t Miss IT!

Scratchy Vinyl March 26 2011

Scratchy Vinyl is back!  I went on a bit of a road trip, made it all the way to L.A. and got to spend some good time in the desert of Arizona.  Much thanks to all those I love and got to see, and all those that helped cover my show while I was away (a special thanks to Jean Armstrong of Grandma’s Jazz for the incidental unplanned fill in last week! The winding hills of the Ozarks proved to be too intense for late night driving.).

A bit of a rocky start to the show today, but technology succumbs!  I would like to point out the irony in having difficulty with playing a technology developed to be listened to on a  hand crank operated sound box…  If you were listening, thanks for sticking with me, and thank you for all the calls!  I appreciate your appreciation! 3 hours! Wish I had remembered the breakfast for my coffee!

Due to my fumbling with technology, I wasn’t able to keep up on a written playlist today, but I am going to share with you the 78 rpm shellac adventures of the morning.  These were of course mixed into the show, and if you listen closely, you can tell when it happens: there is a bit more of a delay and a bit of gray noise when they start playing.  It is all part of the joy and patience of a platter poised to play percussively.

Black Coffee, Sarah Vaughn Orch. by Joe Lipman, Columbia
The Story of My Life, Dinah Shore and Male Quartet and Orch. under direction of Harry Zimmerman, Columbia

Check back in folks and thank you for listening!   78′s from the vault to be heard next week, and more all on WDBX!  Enjoy the rain (and hope for a bumper crop of morels!)

The song surprisingly about picking veggies! in time for spring!  Homer and Jethro, When Banana Skins are Falling…

Scratchy Vinyl, 12/11/10

Greetings and salutations folks, Sarah here from Scratchy Vinyl, attempting to bridge my technology gap!  Today marked  my first show in my new time slot, Saturday morning 10-12 (moved from Wednesday afternoon).   I have a lot to live up to, but Grandma dropped a line to tell me I’m doing a great job!

I’ve been with WDBX for about a year now, manically swapping and cuing on the ol’ turntable.   My obsession for LP’s began years ago in a lowly thrift shop, where the cover art of Exuma won me over.  I quickly realized how much I love the quality of these plastic discs, no overly clean sound here!  Since that first album, I have consistently sought out the wonderful as well as the random, often being taken over by a beautiful or comical square foot of jacket.  So yes, visual aesthetics has allowed me to learn much about music the way it was.  It also helped me find music I love!  As my technophobia loses its grip, I’ll share some of the art with you (it may show just how much of a cheeseball I can be!)

If you are new to listening to my show, I spin heavy on the old time jazz and blues, with some country, crooners, crazy kids, and classic rock thrown in to spice it up a bit.   In general, it’s music made before I was born, many of the records are 2-3 times my age!  I hope you enjoy the show, dance in your kitchen, and come on back next week!
