You Know Who… Didn’t Need That Shot of Tequila

Alphonse Mouzon liked donuts

I’m gonna be honest: Today was a disaster, and it was all my doing. After not drinking for about a month I went from zero-to-sixty and that ended up not being a great move. Brett was able to carry things only so far as I slurred, forgot words, and would go on tangents that went nowhere. As a result, we didn’t even get to the final segment of the show.
What is there to say? I didn’t listen back to the whole thing, but here are some things I noticed when doing a quick fix on the audio track before posting: Firstly, evidently, I forgot that a “watch band” was a thing, but I still maintain that The Chocolate Watchband is one of the worst band names I’ve ever heard. Secondly, somehow the subject of Elvis came up, and I stand behind the sentiment (though poorly expressed) that once Elvis put on the jumpsuit, he almost immediately went from being a slick, dangerous rocker, to being a bloated, red-neck lounge singer.
I really don’t remember much else of what we talked about, so listen at your own peril. However, looking at the playlist, there are some sweet tunes to be heard. Plus, if you listen to the end, Larry Coryell has a funny anecdote about how Alphonse Mouzon teaches “The Funky Waltz” to students. So… Enjoy?

For All of Your LIC Radio Needs…

It feels a little inappropriate that I should be starting this site. After all, LIC Radio was Walker’s baby. He brought together a community both of listeners and broadcasters that has been a source of light-hearted diversion in good times, and a source of comfort and connection in dark times. Yeah, I know I might be making it sound too significant for a platform that used to host a segment called “Fart of the Week,” but sometimes you need to get your head into the gutter in order to gaze at the stars. In any event, a while back a friend hit me with a “hey, what’s that song” kind of query, and asked if there was some kind of way I could post the playlists from the shows. Hence this blog. It may lack bells and whistles, and not nearly enough pornography to justify any use of bandwidth, but if you listen to a show (at least one of the “You Know Who…” segments) and want to know what that song was or who that artist was, it’s here. And if you didn’t listen to the show, there’s a link t...

Roberta Flack 1937-2025 Today I paid tribute to the recently deceased Roberta Flack, joked (too soon) about how a pissed off pet cat maybe responsible for the deaths of Gene Hackman and his whole family (bad taste, I know), and explored my love/hate relationship with Journey. Also played some amazing songs by Talking Heads, Joe Jackson, and Edgar Winter’s White Trash.   Click here to check it out: LICRadio 2/27/2025     Rick Wakeman “Anne of Cleves” (Rick Wakeman) BBC Studios, London, UK, 2/27/73 Studio version released on The Six Wives of Henry VIII   (A&M, 1973)     Roberta Flack "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)" (Michael McDonald, Ed Sanford, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller) City Hall, Sheffield, UK, 10/22/84 Originally recorded and released by Michael McDonald on If That’s What It Takes   (Warner Bros., 1982)     Daddy Long Legs “C—ksucker Blues” (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards) Single A-side (Norton, 2010)     The Mynah ...
