The Splendid Turntable

The Splendid Turntable WQFS-FM show that transports you back to the sound and spirit of album rock radio and turntables.

WQFS, 90.9 FM, Greensboro, NC | Free Internet Radio | TuneIn https://tunein.com/radio/WQFS-909-s22152/

I'm giving you some music you just don’t get to hear on the radio much any more, along with some of the best music being made today. The radio industry named the format AOR, which stood for album oriented rock. Critics of the format said AOR stood for “any old record” though, because they couldn

't wrap their heads around staying away from the hits and digging deeper into album cuts from the rock and psychedelic acts of the 60s and 70s. The Splendid Turntable is not affiliated with a certain public radio program with a similar name. That said, this program does focus on the culture, the history, the backstories and the deeper meanings that come together every time people sit down to enjoy music.

We'll be decked out in our best tie-dye, talking about the late Bob Weir and playing a few of his tunes, including a track from this record in the Studebaker vinyl collection, on the show tomorrow. Tune in to The Splendid Turntable on WQFS Guilford College Radio, Mon, Jan 12, 8am EST for our remembrance.

Rest in peace, Bobby Weir.  😥
