OkayI just took a Wikipedia dive. I always thought Newcastle was in Scotland, but it is Northumberland, northern England, just south of Scotland.

The Randy Newman/Harry Nilsson connection is sensible. I always think of Nina Simone, if only because of her cover of "Baltimore."
  11:06am Alex in Illinois:

So that term Hugo used, Geordie, is what they call that borderline Scottish English accent and people.

he generally makes it spacey then livens it up toward 6am; but i, knowing there are others out there who might take 5 hours falling asleep, would gradually gear it toward sleep.

Doug, will you plan something for the 30th anniversary of your first "regular" show?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:48am Doug Schulkind:

M O N I C A !

@Mr. C
Vanilla Bean was my gateway, too! This is what I wrote on a remembrances page for Frank:

Frank Balesteri is the reason I'm at FMU. Back in the spring of '87, I screwed up the courage to call the Vanilla Bean on the phone during this breathtaking show he was perpetrating. He was spinning South African discs while raving about apartheid over, under, and between records. He also was reading news clippings and chanting poetry and it was hugely inspiring.

During that phone call with Frank, he found the time to talk with me about radio in general and WFMU in particular and the freedom he had to say and play anything. He found the time to ask me about what I dug about radio and, when I told him I did radio in college, he warmly encouraged me to call the station manager and gave me the number to reach the WFMU office. I called Ken the next day and came down to the station a few days after that.

Five or six years ago Frank arrived home from a business trip and stepped in to a nightmarish situation with his family. Within hours of discovering this, though, Frank still rushed down to the station to be the MC on my Marathon show that morning. Unsurprisingly, he came up with another virtuoso performance -- his familiar hash of nonsequitors, rants, hilarious word play, heartfelt sincerity, song-lyric quoting, etc. -- all the while personally devastated and full of grief. It was astonishing.

During that Marathon show, I thanked Frank for being so encouraging to me years earlier, and he just shrugged it off and started running through the list of Marathon tchotchkes.

I first read about WFMU in a TV guide in a dentist's waiting room. The first show I heard was Terre T, and I was hooked pretty much instantly. Funny thing is I didn't have a TV (still don't)

Fine show, Doug, thanks!

I think Downtown Soulville might've been my gateway, too. Also Greasy Kid Stuff on Saturdays.

This is a pretty good piece on baseball and this year's HOF class, if anyone is interested: hazlitt.net...

I met Frankie at Crazy Rhythms in Montclair, along with R Stevie Moore, who also worked there..

The fansite beefheart.com had a link to the 'greatest radio station in the world' and it was a Road to Damascus moment. That was back in 2002

Frank was a huge inspiration to me. I will never forget his kindness, talking to a stranger on the phone and encouraging me to come down and get involved.
