Rick’s Canteen – Episode #8
7.23.24
Unlike most other “live” music engagements– community radio doesn’t do “sound checks.”
What I mean by that is, with dozens of people (DJs, programmers, volunteers) constantly rotating through the studio, the equipment is constantly being set and adjusted to each person’s preferences. And with the 77 seconds we have to swap out shows (and whatever equipment and materials DJs bring), that can sometimes make the first block of any show be… less than smooth.
But, I feel like I’m running into a single, easily solvable issue with each show and I’m confident that will turn into zero issues soon.
Dinner Hour (Jazz) = 8pm – 9pm
Cocktail Hour (Soul, Blues, Funk, Mixed Bag) = 9pm – 10pm
Show notes:
The middle 20-minute block of jazz (Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Allen Toussaint, Duval Timothy) and the first block of the 9 o’clock hour (Tammi Terrell, Dee Clark, The Dominoes, Solomon Burke, Nat King Cole) were the show’s two best blocks of tunes.

As always, the short, repeated instrumentals are used as the DJ “bed” music (the background music that plays while the DJ chats about… whatever).
