Once upon a time, before there ever was Jukebox Heart, there was Moonlight Radio. Similar in ambition, Moonlight Radio wanted to share music with friends and people he loved. Though it was pretty and fun, it aso demanded a lot of time and attention of its users. Jukebox Heart came along and provided similar access with a lot less effort. Now and then, we like to bring some of the music forward from Moonlight Radio. Tonight’s mix is culled from the June 2007 edition of Moonlight Radio. If you have an evening to kill, click on that link and browse Moonlght Radio to see what we were up to back then. Clicking on each link takes you to page after page of music, image and tons of information. But for now, just click on the arrow below and enjoy a sampling of Moonlight Radio.

We open with one of the most mysterious records in my collection, a beat-up lounge-era 45 most of whose label has been torn off. Fortunately, the bits and piecs reveal that the artist is Martin Bottcher, but the title of each side is missing. This was a mammoth 3-hour podcast in celebration of the tird anniversary of Moonlight Radio. So, brace yourself, you’re in for a long night. *wink* You actually get to hear me speak on this one; I modeled this special anniversary edition after my old radio shows on WMFO, WCUW and WZBC…
