40 years ago WORT was still a young radio station, with studios on
Winnebago Street and the frequency at
89.7 FM. Back then every Saturday, sandwiched between
Jah Tony and
Reasonable Facsimile” played the newest of the new on his show
New Needles. His program captured the zeitgeist of a special time when “new music”
was New Music: experimental, revolutionary, and certainly a departure from much of the past – a far cry from today, when everything under the sun has already been done.
In a very extra-special episode of
Friday On My Mind, Reasonable Facsimile returns for one night only to bring us some of the magic that was New Needles. Listen live on the airwaves or through the live stream, or check out the show on the WORT archive for up to two weeks.
