To All:
Greetings!
On the Morning Dew radio show on www.WBAI.org and WBAI-FM 99.5 FM, NY, late Saturday (early Sunday 9/23/18) 1-3 AM, I will be airing birthday tributes to Ray Charles (1930), Bruce Springsteen(1949), and John Coltrane (1926) each of whom was born on this day. I will feature some rare studio outtakes and live recordings and a wide variety of sidemen such as Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, David Fathead Newman and early solo Springsteen among many others. 


If you wish, the show will be available 24/7 on the WBAI "archives" tab:

>>A birthday! June 23

Also on June 23rd, 1967 - Neal Cassady gave his famous rap at the Straight Theater.

Neal's was backed up by the Grateful Dead that night ~

Never gave that day much thought; good call un June 23rd.

I believe you mean September 23rd.

A bunch of us drove from Salt Lake to see Bruce in 1985. Caught a birthday show in Denver's Mile High Stadium, the "Born In The USA" tour.

Our tickets were actually for the 22nd, but 32 degrees and sleet changed that. 

I was going to venture "The letters E & R". 

Those three names have both letters in common.
What do I win this time ??

They never pinned a women down while drunk in high school and tried to rip off her clothes for $500 Alex

I was about to make a Mini Movie on the GD 6/23/74 show in Florida; but I see I did that last week already ~

(date requested corrected in OP)

9/23/1972

I have been working on this one for 5 days & its uploading now at just 28 % finished.

It may just make the West Coast time before mid-night for an anniversary party?

It such a great show & fall tour; but its cursed.

 

In 2001 I took the 3 CDs with me on a business trip down to Cherry Hill NJ. "Blonder Tongue Labs, awesome account!

I was smoking a joint in my car on the NJ Tpk, and some NJ cops were alerted at the toll booth and I got busted as I was pulling into my motel.

Had to go back down to NJ the following month for a court appearance & got speeding Ticket while that show was playing

9/23

Epic GD date

Oops! I was tired and groggy when I made the original post. It should have read, September 23rd, not June 23rd. 

 

Thanks to Judt for the correction.

 

I hope folks are enjoying Don's archival podcast, I certainly did! Some nice rare chestnuts in there!!!  :)
