Tonight on Soul Vaccination, we’ll be playing the music of Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O’Brien, better known as Dusty Springfield.  A British singer, she was one of the most notable white soul artists in the swinging sixties.  Her recording of Son of a Preacher Man (originally offered to and turned down by Aretha Franklin) is just killer.  It knocked me out how it used in the soundtrack of Pulp Fiction - nearly 30 years after it was recorded.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpEpKHi-kRk

 Brett Hartenbach has pulled together the music for this show and will be joining me tonight in the studio!

 Soul Vaccination tonight from 6-8 for the music of Dusty Springfield.

How many songs can you think of that are about rain?
        Tune in to tomorrow’s edition of Jazz Straightahead when Terry MacDonald will feature songs that  celebrate, whine about and otherwise acknowledge the sort of weather pattern we’re presently experiencing, as performed by some of our favorite jazz musicians and singers.
        That’s tomorrow morning, beginning at 6:00 am, when you may be surprised to learn just how many rain songs there, played for you on Jazz Straightahead on Portsmouth Community Radio, WSCA-LP at 106.1 FM, and streaming worldwide from wscafm.org.

        NOTE: If you miss the show, you can hear it later by going to www.wscafm.org and clicking on the link to “archive” then choosing “hourly recordings,” finally selecting each of three files identified by date (6.16.10) and hours (6:00, 7:00 and 8:00).

This Saturday the 28th on Stage Door Radio Show 8AM-10AM, host April Mulkern will be taking a break from playing her usual showtunes and conducting interviews by broadcasting a vinyl audio recording of Tennessee William’s family drama “The Glass Menagerie” featuring actors Montgomery Clift, Julie Harris, Jessica Tandy, David Wayne. This is a fairly rare vinyl from 1964 and one you rarely hear on the radio now a days. Enjoy and tune in!

The first 45  minutes of tonight’s program will be dedicated to Audio Theatre for youngsters.  First up will be our 2010 production of “Charlie the Caterpillar” performed by thirteen children who attended the Strawbery Banke Crafty Kids program during the week of August 2nd to the 6th.

This story is an Audio Theatre adaptation of a short story by Dom DeLuise and features a cast of 7 to 9 year olds in the acting roles as well as providing narration and sound effects.  The program was recorded at the Stoodley Tavern Education Center on August 5th, 2010. 

  The children spent the whole day learning all about Audio Theatre, it’s history, production techniques and their favorite topic, sound effects!   Then they produced a play for your listening enjoyment.   Don’t miss this 15 minute performance… it is a lot of fun and the kids are sooooo cute!  Great job to one and all!

Then continuing with Audio Theatre for Children, the most popular children’s show on radio was Nila Mack’s “Let’s Pretend”  which was on the air for over 30 years producing hundreds of programs.  Tonight we will hear a fairy tale that answers the question “Why is the Sea Salty?”… rather appropriate for our location!

Then, for adults, Howard Duff stars in one of our favorite detective series “The Adventures of Sam Spade.”  Tonight’s episode was originally broadcast on April 10th, 1949 and is entitled “The Stopped Watch Caper.”

Remember…as Sam tells his clients, “Sam Spade doesn’t work for his health, but he is a man of principles, so you can pay him the rest later!”

Then, from their WHDH years, Bob Elliot and Ray Goulding in “Bob and Ray” from November 13, 1945… and this show features a skit entitled “The Adventures of Sam Shovel”… a very funny parody of “The Adventures of Sam Spade.”

Consider this a personal invitation to join host John Lovering for two hours of Audio Theatre…. a time to tune your imagination and reflect back on what was a simpler time of life.   Listen locally at 106.1 fm or streaming live online at www.wscafm.org click on “Listen Now.”

Originally broadcast on July 27th, this hour long program featuring Vietnam veteran, Guest Don Lonsway (photo),  offers one of the most compelling and dramatic programs you will hear on any radio station.

Don relates his 34 year battle with PTSD in vivid and emotional detail that had those of us in the studio mesmerized and  teary-eyed at the same time.

If you are a veteran or know someone who is, DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW.

Hosts Ronnie Tomanio, John Ewebanks, and Ali Ketcham spend sixty minutes with a man who has a story to tell that will open your heart and mind to an affliction that has struck so many of our veterans.

Listen live at 106.1 fm  or online at www.wscafm.org and click on “Listen Now” but by all means, listen.

Next,  John Dehner (above) stars as radio’s  Paladin. He was a man of culture, West Point-educated, literate, with a taste for fine food and clothing… and the theatre. He dressed like a dandy and made his headquarters in the ritzy Hotel Carlton in San Francisco. He was sort of a troubleshooter and private lawman-for-hire.  He was a man of morals and conscience,  and would try to settle disputes without violence whenever possible, but he was not afraid to use his fists or his gun when all else failed.

His business card read “Have Gun Will Travel”… and the episode you will hear toinght was originally aired on December 21st, 1958 and is entitled “The Hanging Cross.”    “Have Gun Will Travel” is a terrific series…top notch writing and acting combine to make it one of radio’s best Westerns. 

 William Conrad (above) stars as Matt Dillon in “Gunsmoke.” The classiest and most authentic western series on radio.  The sound effects and music were superb and were totally designed to enhance the excellent storylines.  Tonight’s episode is entitled “The Gypsum Hill Feud” and was first aired onApril 16th, 1955.  Listen in and hear a truly high quality production.

You are invited to join host John Lovering for “Wild West” night on Tuesday, August 17th from 6 to 8 pm.  Listen live locally at 106.1 fm or online at www.wscafm.org and click on “Listen Now.”    By the way, we will end the evening with a few “Western Classic Songs”…. Rawhide, High Noon, Ghost Riders in The Sky… and a reminder, better bring along an extra canteen of water… things get a little dry in the Wild West!

What are the differences between Gen Y, Gen X and the Baby Boomers? Tune in at Noon when we discuss just that with guests Brad Lebo from Intellectus Consulting and Todd Gerrish, president and founder of Port Lighting.
