Radio Free Dad

My dad is currently doing his second "DJ For An Hour" program on WUTC in Chattanooga. The CD he gave me from his last show made the rounds around the office, filled as it was with good, yet somewhat obscure, music, most notably a bluegrass version of the Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face", courtesy of Arlo Guthrie and Shenandoah.

I called in to heckle, but the studio has caller ID, so I could not pull off any shenanigans, such as giving a birthday shout out to "Hugh Jass".

Some sample artists who made the cut this time around:

Nina Simone, "Ne Me Quitte Pas"
Pearl Jam, "Masters of War"
Richie Havens, "High Flyin' Bird"
Neil Young, "Rockin' in the Free World (acoustic)"
Stan Kenton, "Turtle Talk"
Live, "White, Discussion"
Rahsaan Roland Kirk, "Old Rugged Cross"

He's quite natural on the radio, sounding like someone who has been a DJ for quite some time, while somehow managing to avoid getting jaded about it. Go Dad.
