Here’s this weeks show which featured the man who engineered virtually every R&B record made in New Orleans between the late 40′s and early 1970′s, Cosimo Matassa. He helped put the music of New Orleans on the musical map…..oh…and he owned the studios they recorded them in too.

For those of you following the plot, I’ve been apprenticing at the local community radio station here in Austin, KOOP, with the goal of getting my own show.

Competition is tough, there are a lot of talented programmers out there, with great ideas for their shows. I was able to get into the studio today (with the very cool John Erler of Master Pancake Theater), and broadcast live a short, 30 minute version of my show, “From the Other Side of the Mirror”. The concept behind the show is explained at the beginning.

So please beg my indulgence, here is it, captured from the live stream. Let me know what you think, if you’d listen to something like this.

Thanks to everyone for your support. I know who you are.
