Wow!!!! This is going to be sweet to listen to! Lamont Cranston played at the Union Bar alot when I used to cocktail waitress there!!!!
That is totally awesome Kathy! Thanks for sharing!
Great to find this blog. Shocked .. simply shocked .. to find a connection between Lamont Cranston and WHFS. I saw Pat Hayes & Co. numerous times in Mad Town and have a decent collection ... would love to hear an early version of E-Jam with flute!!
Then moved to DC and yes, WHFS kept me sane. Still have loads of stuff Susan Desmaris turned me on to. Always thought she was the most eclectic DJ they ever had.
Keep it rolling!

Pieter,
Thanks for some awesome feedback!
WHFS was the sh!t...without the internet, how did those DJ's have such a wonderful knowledge of music?
One of the original members of Lamont Cranston, Joe Chandler, passed away recently. A wonderful musician, world traveler and all around great guy, I'm sure he's making sweet music right now! Joe Wally, you'll be forever missed! RIP, Joe.....
That is sad news indeed..
Thanks for informing all uf us.
I'd love to find "Up From the Alley"
post it here if you find it
i've got the vinyl of the LCB disc with a song called 2 trains running that's just unreal.
the album may actually be called by that song title...but i saw them 2-3 times here in chicago and the were fantastic.
geez i wish i'd get around to digitalizing some of the records and c-90s i've got.
it's tough with a 5 year old underfoot.
the last time i saw LCB (at the old wise fool's pub, an absolute favorite) pat hayes played slide guitar for probably half the night easily, on some little 3/4-size guitar and just tore my ears off.
he was clearly 'on' that night...
