I've got a 'thing' for off-beat pop, rock, soul, jazz, R&B, C&W, EZ listening, and all the sub-genres...primarily from the 1950's-80's. I smoosh it all together and that's Magic Records. If you don't like what you're hearing, wait 5 minutes. Currently my show is scheduled on Wednesdays from 8pm-9pm. A SOLID HOUR OF RADIO POWER! I also sometimes do pop-up fill-in's. Check out my mixcloud page for the back story!

Happy New Year from Magic Records! We start the year off with a few songs about Winter, a Zager and Evans chestnut without either of them, howlings and croonings from Dylan, Reed, and Perrett, a salute to President Jimmy Carter (RIP), an old fashioned love song from Al Green, and some blasts from Man, The Forces of Nature, and Louis Prima!
I find myself part way into the holiday spirit with only one week to go! Fuled by CALGORITHMStm, I begin with some bangers, add some tinsel, throw in a few firecrackers, and conclude with the Big Hirt! Nothing Can Stop Me!

Part 2 of WAYO's 2024 Fundraiser! I dug deep into the depths of my 45 records archive (It's really a closet), and selected some fine 7" platters to spin! I had fun! I hope you will too!

As part of the WAYO Fundraiser I did a special tribute show entitled Post Punk Progressive Pop Party featuring the music of the late 70's and early 80's as part of the 'underground' scene of college radio, NYC Nightclubs, and Long Island Dance Clubs. This show is dedicated to the late Jeff Foss who created the PPPPP show on his radio station at Hofstra University...WHPC. Some of the stylings of the show is modeled after WNYU's New Afternoon Show, as well as WBAU Adelphi University radio.
