Weazel . . .

(from http://www.citypaper.com/news/cityfolk/bcp-legendary-radio-jock-jonathan-gilbert-better-known-as-weasel-returns-to-the-air-20150309-story.html)

". . . radio as I knew it, doesn’t exist,” says Weasel (Jonathan Gilbert), the legendary DJ with a Steve Buscemi voice and marsupial-like eyes that hint at the origins of his nom de air. “Just a handful of cookie-cutter radio stations.” . . . So it is hard for him to fathom that a modern radio station would allow him to play whatever he wanted—and even send a driver for him. . . But sure enough, here Weasel, a living repository of rock ’n’ roll lore, sits in a studio in WTMD’s new digs with a stunning view of Towson Town Center’s white-on-white sign over Dulaney Valley Road. . . There’s nothing nostalgic in the studio— not even the romance of a turntable on this desktop console. “No way I’m carrying around 51 pounds of records,” Weasel says. Then the song ends and you witness what sets him apart from everyone else on the air. Unlike other DJs who sit before the mic, the way dentists sit on those stools, with stiff backs, Weasel hits the mic at side angles, hardly ever straight on. He holds up his notebook with what looks like handwritten track aggregate and discusses the 20-minute playlist with a smattering of historical details that come from a long career that sprang at the dawn of rock radio in 1970. . ."

From Weazel's Wild Weekend, August 10, 2018

So Sam, . . .

(from Jay's recent post on the OHOMusic Facebook page . . . )

Jay: "So Sam, Have you aired the (WTMD 05/15/14) OHO interview? If not, do you intend to air it? Inquiring minds want to know. I won't be hurt if you have changed your mind; but I would be disappointed that what was discussed did not reach the level of interest or entertainment of some of your other guests, the bar having been set rather low, not by you; but by them."

Sam: "Hey Jay, I haven't aired it yet -- my wife and I had our second child a couple months ago and I'm digging out from a mountain of work right now. I do intend to air it -- I'll let you know!"

Jay: "OK, thanks, congratulations and best wishes, double trouble & 2x the fun!!!"
