Dusty Grooves
with Rotating Hosts
Saturdays at 8:00PM
1st Saturday: John Tully
2nd Saturday: Mike Crotser & Andy Nelson
Andy and Mike host Dusty Grooves on the second Saturday of each month. We play a wide variety of music and if we have a record in our collection there is a good chance it will be played. We are willing to choose music others are embarrassed to play. As we see it, being middle aged men, we have nothing to lose.
Being said, we lean towards playing rock and pop music from when the LP dominated the market. Often, we play two songs off a particular album so the audience can hear deeper cuts from an artist. Our banter attempts to loosely organize a theme, but also showcases that we are OK with not being audiophile perfectionists.
3rd Saturday (Rotating): DJ A
DJ A is honored to be a part of WDRT and share music with the broader community, both locally and beyond. He believes music is a vital part of life, having been in numerous bands over the years, and has been a DJ on WDRT since it went on the air. You are most likely to see him out and about exploring the Driftless area with his family, likely on two wheels.
3rd Saturday (Rotating): Steve Walker, AKA DJ PK
I used to collect records and play them on college radio and such, well, a long time ago. Radio was my first career and in the minute or two that lasted, I earned upwards of $3 per hour reporting small town news at 4:30 in the morning. Fortunately, I’ve managed to retain several hundred of my LP’s as I moved across a few contiguous midwestern states, and now I seem to be collecting a few more. This could be a problem. Vinyl is very heavy. Anyway, I hope to bring that joy of listening and discovery and some nostalgic memories from my widely diverse collection to this great WDRT community. Oh, and pardon my dust.
4th Saturday: Motownjones
My obsession with music, unhealthy at times, began in the early 80s (around age 6) when Buck Loomis, the local Stansfield guy, gifted me a box of 45’s. If I were to name my top 100 bands, The Beatles would not make the list, but the 45 of “Nowhere Man/I’m Looking Through You” had an enormous impact on me. The philosophical lyrics continue to guide me through life to this day.
In the late 80s, when I was 14, I attended my first concert and met 2 out of the 3 bands from that show, setting the madness in motion. WDRT has given me the opportunity to share some of the great music I have discovered over the years. From folk to punk and many genres in between, this shows for you and me. Thanks for tuning in!
5th Saturday: Titmouse
Every 5th Sunday, expect a variety of unique tracks pulled from the eclectic archives of the House of Titmouse. Might there be jazz? Avant garde? Orchestral? Soul? Hip hop? Noise? Poetry? One thing you can count on is a cameo by Joanna Newsom. Enthusiast of many genres, Titmouse is also the co- host of Booty Tunes For The Dairy Air, WDRT’s longest airing dance music program.
