Join myself and Mr C this SATURDAY NIGHT 7-10pmET for a special rebroadcast of our 3-hour 2003 show with the late legend SEYMOUR STEIN. Recorded live twenty years ago in WFMU’s Studio A, Seymour was in peak form - sharing early career tales, rifling through the WFMU library to play tracks by his fave artists, and busting out his inimitable Syd Nathan imitation. Mr C and I will be loitering in the comments section during the broadcast so be there to join in on the color commentary. This rebroadcast is being hosted on WFMU's Give The Drummer Radio through the gracious efforts of Doug Schulkind.
