Had a fine time raising funds for KPFK with Morgan Rhodes during yesterday’s show. We’ve only be on the air for 6 months, so our goals are pretty modest, but we were able to meet them, raising $1060 for KPFK. Even though it’s a fundraising show, with a bunch of pitches for the station, still give a listen, lots of great music, including selections from the Jimi Hendrix West Coast Seattle Boy boxset, a whole set of music from the Syl Johnson “Complete Mythology” set from Numero (review later this week), and tracks from the packs from Charles Bradley & the Menahan Street Band, Belleruche, Quadron and the Groove Merchant 20th Anniversary collection. During the show we had a sweepstakes and I’m very happy to say that the winner was Robert Campbell from Altadena! The Syl Johnson box set will on its way to him, just in time for the holidays…big thanks to everyone for supporting the show, with your pledges or just with your ears. Either way it is much appreciated.
Melting Pot will not be on the air Dec. 19th due to a fundraising special, but we’ll be back on KPFK Dec. 26th with an all vinyl show featuring my best finds of 2010, and then Jan. 2nd will be my roundup of the best music from 2010!
