The music & the package, the aural & the visual.

 

In 1975, seeking an outlet to share a lifelong passion for recorded music, I walked into a local community radio station and volunteered my time. The first show they gave me was early morning “free-form” show then known as The Alternative Alarm Clock. Free-form radio, which dates back to the 1960’s, allows, indeed demands, the combination of all musical genres to create an integrated listening experience. The freedom of this approach afforded me the opportunity to pursue an endless journey into the work of thousands of musicians that continues to this day.

During my shows I often wished I could present the graphics that accompanied the music, because the album covers, photographs, liner notes, and other whimsy were often inspired and always a part of the whole. It seemed to me that the full artistic impact of the music was diminished without the inclusion of the graphics that supported them. This site was created to provide the aural experience of the music along with the original visual experience that accompanied that music.

That is all!
