Fun show. Some nutty mixing. My main home computer died a few weeks ago, so am giving a new one – the one I’m typing this on now – a shakedown. It’s the machine I not only edit pieces for radio, but use to auto-archive my radio shows, upload, etc.. I must say, it’s working pretty good (knocks on simulated woodgrain veneer).
Hope you like the show. Nice callers and responses via social media.

Kenneth Arnold and a rendering of one of the objects he said he saw – not looking very saucer-like.
Here’s a show I’ve been wanting to do for years – and the anniversary just happened to roll around near the week of one of my shows. Here’s the blurb I wrote for KBOO’s website:
June 24, 1947: The birth of the Flying Saucer phenomenon
This weekend marks the 70th anniversary of Idaho businessman and pilot Kenneth Arnold’s historic sighting of mysterious flying ships near Mt. Rainer.
While flying his CallAir Model A on a business trip, and taking a diversion as a volunteer effort to help find a recently crashed military transport, Kenneth Arnold suddenly spotted a flash of light in the sky. Thinking it was a sun reflection from another airplane, Arnold looked around and sighted nine apparently metallic craft winding their way across the mountains. Intrigued, he was able to time their progress and, by estimating their relative size, he calculated their speed to be greater than any known aircraft at that time. He said their flightpath resembled that of the tail of a Chinese kite, with the craft bobbing up and down while flying in a line. He described the motion as ‘as if a saucer were skipped across water’, which a news reporter later erroneously attributed to the crafts’ shape, despite Arnold reporting them as shaped like a crescent. Soon everyone was sighting saucer-shaped objects for at least two decades.
Kenneth Arnold became the first UFO expert, giving interviews on the radio and investigating other flying saucer sightings. While he didn’t initially think what he saw was of extraterrestrial origin, he soon became a believer in the extraterrestrial hypothesis and also became a ‘repeater’ (someone who reports having seen multiple UFO sightings. Flying saucers, whatever they were, were from that time forward permanently planted in the imaginations of Cold War Americans (and beyond).
Radio Lost and Found commemorates the 70th anniversary of this portentious sighting, perhaps ruefully, as saucer sitings have been on the decline since the 1970s, thanks either to a remarkable advancement of alien technology or Hollywood production companies finding the classic saucer shape passe.
This was a fun show for me; not only did I get to play a lot of material that is very near and dear to my heart (I’ve previously done UFO related shows here and here), but I also got to do a long-form collage show, which I haven’t done much of lately. I generally avoid doing thematic shows but I couldn’t resist it here. It’s also more or less an homage of sorts to Don Joyce’s wonderful Over The Edge episodes Another UFO, which I have enjoyed immensely. I didn’t back announce anything. The playlist is a fairly accurate account of what I did. I am a lousy note taker, so some contents may have settled in shipping. Things were played on the top of one another, but the start times of any individual track is pretty accurate. Know what I mean?
I hope you like it. Lots of people called in and seemed to enjoy it.

Brand new Rudy Schwartz Project! Newly reissued People Like Us! Strange Italian rock operatics by Stefano Marcucci! Recently unearthed Don Cherry! And much more!
Back in the saddle after being away for nearly a month. Horrendous back problems prevented me from coming in on the 13th, but I was ably sub’d by Eric Isaacson of Mississippi Records. Did you catch it? It was fantastic. Thanks, Eric!
I played some of the new album by insanely prolific The Rudy Schwartz Project, Tango Lessons In A Fascist Whorehouse, did a mix featuring my favorite Outer Limits episode Demon With The Glass Hand, some more of the newly vinylized People Like Us album Abridged Too Far, some bits of a 1967 film with music by Don Cherry and a peculiar Italian rock opera by Stefano Marcucci.
Fun show. It was nice to be back in the studio, even if me and my back are still a bit wobbly.

Tonight, we’re pleased as punch to present a Dennis Nyback musical extravaganza – Calvin Coolidge Goes Crazy:
A story set in 1927 expanding on the true story of Calvin Coolidge’s decision in 1927 to not run for a second term as president of the United States.
On August 2 of that year he hosted a press conference where he handed out slips of paper to the press that said “I do not choose to run for president in 1928.” He then added “There will be nothing more from this office today.”
In addition to Calvin, the story features his wife Grace, their daughter Petunia, the valet Norris, and the jazz trumpet player Jack Purvis. Petunia is mad about jazz music and spends hours listening to jazz records in the White House. Her parents worry she will become a flapper. When Calvin hears a Bix Beiderbecke record he is struck by the beauty of it and he himself goes jazz crazy.
During a trip to New York he dons a disguise and travels to Harlem to hear live jazz. He is befriended by the young musician Jack Purvis. On a second trip to New York he is discovered in his disguise by his wife as he tries to sneak back back into their hotel room in the middle of the night. His wife convinces him that it unwise for the president of the United States to be clandestinely hanging out in Harlem. Calvin decides to bring Jazz to the White House. He builds a speakeasy in the basement that is connected to the outside world by a tunnel with many twists and turns to confuse anyone of its location. He then contacts Jack Purvis to create a house band. This brings Jack and the daughter together. Things goes bad when Gangsters try to blackmail Calvin into giving them control of the action.
With songs from the era by Jerome Kern, Rodgers and Hart, Fats Waller, Cole Porter, Rube Bloom and Jack Yellen.
Musical Director: De Henderson
Written, Produced and Directed by Dennis Nyback
This had been months in coming; we meant to do this several times this Winter, but was snowed out every time! It was great to finally do it! The play starts at about the 22 minute mark.
We also hear several selections for the wonderful compilation xx (while waiting for the cast to assemble, etc.), some Evil Genius, A Conrad Trio and Sun Ra and his Myth Science Orchestra.
