We have to dig into the archives today on The AIR.  We have a new episode of  Radio Free Charleston, but it’s a almost all stuff you’ve heard before.  To listen to The AIR, you simply have to point your cursor over and tune in at the website, or you could just stay here, and  listen to the cool embedded player found elsewhere on this page.  

You can hear Radio Free Charleston Tuesdays at 10 AM and 10 PM, with tons of replays throughout the week.

Normally I record Radio Free Charleston on Mondays.  However,  yesterday was my Tenth Wedding Annivesary, and our plans were so fluid that, as I write this, I have no freaking idea where we’ll be. We will be together, and that’s what counts, but when I realized that I wouldn’t be able to do the show at my usual time and also that we might be heading to where ever we’re heading as early as Friday afternoon, well, I sorta had to pull a show out of my ass.

And that’s exactly what I did!

However, my ass’s loss is your gain, as we kick off with a one-hour mixtape of true RFC gems, including two songs that have not yet been on the show. After that we go way back to the third episode of Radio Free Charleston Volume THREE. This one dates back to Voices of Appalachia internet radio damned nearly ten years ago. I’d only been married less than three months when I recorded this.

The second hour of this week’s show is pretty much a normal, all-local RFC, while the third hour is made up entirely of recordings made at The World Famous Empty Glass Cafe.

Which…was where Mel and I had our first kiss, way back in 1990.  Just to bring things back to a full circle.

There are no links in the playlist this week. A guy’s got to find time to sleep, you know. As it is, I’m hurridly writing this Thursday night, then I need to get up in the morning and write Sunday and Monday’s PopCult posts.

Check out the playlist.

I’m also going to  embed a low-fi, mono version of this show right in this post, right here so you can listen on demand.

 

After RFC, stick around for encores of last week’s episodes of  MIRRORBALL at 1 PM and Curtain Call at 2 PM.

At 3 PM we give you an encore of two recent episodes of The Swing Shift, because I couldn’t record a new one of these on Monday, either.
