Comment: This may be the single worst Dusty Show ever ... so far. It was a weird week. I just couldn't seem to get a show off the ground. Many false starts ... second guessing ... and real-life interruptions. Then suddenly ... I had one night left to produce a show. So what I ended up doing was melding two previously abandoned half-shows and sending it in. I should have just aired a re-run.The Doyle Slater character gets boring pretty fast. In hindsight, I wish i had done the whole show in the Easy Favorites format. That was more fun.I had an e-discussion with Mike Lupica of FMU about the 'Easy Listening' format. He pointed out to me how he felt that it was a great loss when Easy Listening stations disappeared from the radio landscape and I agree. At the time, back in the day, I suppose many young people thought it was pretty annoying. A real symbol of an anti-music older generation. But now, I love my easy listening albums and closer inspection reveals that whole genre to have produced some rather innovative and even experimental records. After all ... it was usually done by good musicians who probably needed work and skilled directors given a certain amount of leeway to make music which embodied certain 'moods.' Hense the often used term, Mood Music.As I mentioned to Mike, I would take Muzak™ over Smooth Jazz (today's equivalent of Easy Listening) any day. Then again ... maybe 30 years from now Smooth Jazz from the turn of this century will end up being cool somehow. Hard to imagine but who knows? I will most likely be annelid fodder by then. Anyway ... apologies to those who found this episode less than satisfactory and thanks to those precious few who seemed to enjoy it. I think you were just being kind.
