…me, circa 1983.

What is the first song you remember playing on the air on WMSE (or first artist or album)?

Manu Chao’s “Merry Blues”.

What is the first musician or band you remember interviewing? What year?

The Blind Boys of Alabama, before their show at Jazz in the Park, in a trailer behind the stage at Cathedral Square. They were about the nicest guys you could ever want to meet.

Crispin Glover, by telephone from the WMSE studios. He is a very different guy than the Blind Boys of Alabama, but an extremely nice fella, too.
