WRVU LATE NIGHT RADIO SHOW -- 1964



after my friend, Bert Bottorff's European Baroque Hour...on WRVU....the Vanderbilt Campus Station......I hosted.a program....11-12pm.......of more modern and experimental music.....Subotnik, Stockhausen, Cage, Berio......not exactly Mozart or Chopin......Students would call in and threaten to kill me if I didn't play Paul Revere and the Raiders, Joan Baez or The Beetles......you'd think kids would be more daring and open.......pleeze......not some more Peter, Paul and Mary.....! WRVU finally cancelled my avante guarde program, replacing it with some 19th century romantic goulash that would blend into late-nite studies........fiddly dee!~
