Tune in to WHFR's "Spirits Rejoice" on two consecutive Tuesdays, March 12 and 19 from 7-10pm Eastern Time for 50 years of ECM RECORDS and 10 years of BIG EARS FESTIVAL. As a society we have a penchant for celebrating milestones in blocks of 10 years. In 1968 we celebrated 50 years of the Beatles White Album, in 2017 the 50th anniversary of The Summer of Love and in 2019 the buzz already is 50 years of Woodstock.

On The Next Radio Vault....
The Stan Freberg Show, Another Jack Benny, and for the first time on the WHFR version of Radio Vault, "the fabulous freelance insurance investigator," Johnny Dollar and Suspense with Orson Welles.
Some of the shows were salvaged from squealy unplayable reel tapes sent to me recently. The oxide binder dries out in certain formulations of Ampex tape, but if you BAKE it at 175 degrees for a few hours, it becomes playable again for about 24 hours. It's being done by major record companies.
