Rick’s Canteen – Episode 6
7.9.24
Show notes:
This show featured one full minute of stupidity as my second track, Ramsey Lewis’s “Little Liza Jane” was played on a faster speed due to the turntable being at the 45 rpm setting and not 33. That took an embarrassingly long time to figure out.
There were a few other minor technical mistakes as well as some silly moments while speaking into a microphone, but that’s a solo radio show for ya.
A recording of the broadcast is available for you here–

The Spotify playlist is below.
Quick note– Della Reese’s version of “Sunny” from her album One More Time! isn’t available on Spotify. For the playlist below, I substituted the Reese’s “lounge” version with the commonly-known Bobby Hebb version.
A note about the Rick’s Canteen spotify playlists– the repeated tracks such as “Thank You All the Same” and “Feelm Intermission” and other similar often-repeated tracks are what I use for the “bed” music (the tunes used when a DJ is chatting about whatever).
For the most part, Episode 6 went fairly well.
Curating playlists has always been fun, but I’m still noticeably trying to figure out how to perform off-the-cuff intros + recaps as well as manage even the simplest aspects of broadcasting without error. It’s been enjoyable and I’m learning that I’m much stupider with a hot mic in front of me than without. With time and practice, that should improve.
