In the late 90's and early 00's WRNR was truly a "Freeform Progressive" radio station. Occasionaly, before I hit the rack, I would pop a tape in my Kenwood auto reverse cassette deck, and record 'til the tape ran out as I dozed off. I have scores of these tapes and will post 'em as I rip 'em. The Midnight Shift tapes from DJ Craig are exceptional to say the least. Very few commercials, just music, concert promos and the occasional weather report. Here is another fine Maxell 90 minute WRNR tape of DJ's Chris then Craig recorded Wed Evening and Thursday Morning Dec 5th and 6th 1997.
Winter Hours, Huffamoose, Peter Rowan, Delbert McClinton, Richard Thompson, Yo La Tango, Jefferson Airplane, William Topely, Traffic, Duncan Shiek, Nick Drake, Quicksilver, Etta James, Cherry Poppin' Daddys, Annie De Franco, Tracy Chapmen, Michelle Shocked

Kayaker, I have enjoyed these RNR tapes just as much as the HFS tapes. Very cool to have this rip. I will probably use this tape to drift off to sleep myself.....last night I listened to Bob "Here" from 4-20-83....a great setlist featuring Dire Straits, George Winston, Joan Armatrading, Van Morrison and others....

It's all good! I got boxes and boxes of 'em....
ReplyDeleteKayaker, I am listening to 12-5-97 right now...very cool. I remember being tempted to move up to Annapolis, MD during the 90s. I couldn't get RNR at all here in Herndon, VA.
ReplyDeleteVanFan
I might have been worth the move. Annapolis area is very nice. Beats the $hit outta NoVA IMHO...No offence...
ReplyDeletereally dig the Yo La Tango.
ReplyDeleteVanFan
the one right after the richard thompson......vanfan
ReplyDeleteThat Yo La Tango is some nice "dream pop" music....I fell asleep last night to that one. Gonna have to check into more of them.
