Magic Records with CalZone!

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!

    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.
