Brian Carpenter of Ghost Train Orchestra Discusses Moondog
Wednesday, February 28th, 3pm - 6pm
on Irwin Chusid

Moondog was blind, dressed in Viking regalia, slept on 6th Avenue in New York during the 1950s, and was a musical genius who left behind a monumental catalog of fascinating works spanning a dozen genres. Moondog's music was re-envisioned by Ghost Train Orchestra and Kronos Quartet on the recent album Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog. On Weds. Feb 28th, Brian Carpenter, leader of the Ghost Train Orchestra, will visit Irwin's program from 4–6pm to discuss the collaboration with Kronos and bring Moondog's music to the airwaves. Unreleased recordings from the project will be included in the musical offerings. Ghost Train and Kronos will perform the works of Moondog live at New York's Town Hall on April 16.


Dick Monda (aka Daddy Dewdrop)
Wednesday, February 28th, Noon - 3pm
on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show

In 1971, "Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)" by Daddy Dewdrop became a worldwide smash. Improbably, the man behind that record — Dick Monda — followed that up a few years later by anonymously making one of the most inscrutable records of the '70s, the self-titled album by Christ Child. Dick chats with EFD about these contrasting releases and more on today’s show. Tune in, you’ll jes’ love it!
