The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit Show - A musical mid-life crisis -- a late-night search for meaning and happiness airs on WRIR LP Monday nights from 9 PM to 11 PM. Stream the show @ www.wrir.org
While I always feel like a scattered mess getting prepared to do a show with all my CDs and scraps of paper notes flying around, I always somehow pull it together and it is so much fun and so cathartic to celebrate my big brother Stuart’s memory in this way – by doing these annual radio shows featuring music from his ENORMOUS and varied collection. Stuart died in 2011 and he’d been a huge musical influence on me growing up. He’d spent his life collecting music and music was his life. This is the 20th show I’ve put together since he died in March 2011 and he’s got enough music for me to keep doing these shows for years and years to come. I’ve discovered so much new music I absolutely love and hope you hear something new or interesting to you. As always, thanks to Scott for taking care of the board ops so I can do this. RIP, Stuart – you are so dearly missed.
