Derek Sunshine Redux - 1988
I was busy “reorganizing” my kitchen yesterday when I found an old C-120 tape of my radio show from the 1980s. For five years, I was DJ at WTJU-FM at the University of Virgina. I used C-120s to tape my afternoon shows, since I could get two of the three hours on one tape. Also, it was easiest to flip the tape during a pre-recorded station ID.
On that tape, recorded in January of 1988, I had an unusually peppy mix including Unrest (pre-Bridette Cross), The Visigoths and Beefeater. I also had at least one track played from a cart. I had forgotten how wonderfully loud the 80’s could be. I need to listen to the whole thing, but if I can get it onto my PC, I’ll probably rebroadcast the show on WRIR in the future.
I had actually thrown out many of the other tapes - before I started DJing again. I’ll have to see if my neighbor still has them.
