"show me your thumb if you're really dumb"

*I have never had so much fun doing radio, nor have I been more in touch with my creative ability as a selector, producer and presenter. I have often said that if I did not have RFW I would be doing the show in my head. but it is already too crowded in there and it's much more enjoyable when you're hanging with me in the Archives. Thanks for being you and a part of the family -
  it makes all the difference.

Let the celebration begin!

"We have assembled inside this ancient

& insane theatre

To propagate our lust for life

and flee the swarming wisdom

of the streets"

*The end of the our 14th Year is a festive occasion that rivals the arrival of tomorrow's 15 in importance. The surreal and unpredictable nature of the recent state of affairs has fueled a creative spark in me unrivalled in my career. I look forward to using that spark to propel RFW into new highs! Extra-long Transmissions over this celebratory weekend, pick a partner and dance!

"I worked as a carny

with a two headed girl name of Peg

she used to drink and carve her name into my wooden leg

Harold was a junkie

said he shot dope with Jesus Christ

I said you’re better off alone man

you can get off twice"

*When I got my first radio show in 1976 at WTBS, Cambridge, the now head Amplifier Head and my East Boston High School goomba Sal Baglio, brought me an early single by what became the legendary New England musical force that is The Stompers. It's never stopped.

Check out his newest Amp Head Music For Abandoned Amusement Parks and more here.

We continue our collaboration in exile, 44 years later, with what might be the both of us 

experiencing respective peaks (drug reference?). 

Our art and friendship thrives on the simple secret of

 the note in us all.

"someone told me there's a girl out there

with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair""

*My home for 26 years, California is burning, literally and figuratively. State-wide wildfires and the highest recorded temps in the state's history are creating deadly situations for people, animals and property. This RFW show is for those involved and my eldest son Derek, who lives in San Jose. Good vibrations and love to you all.
