 “They told Marconi/ Wireless was a phony.” They did, didn’t they, the doubters and naysayers? But they were wrong. The cool medium invented by Googie Marconi in 1895 is alive and well represented by shows like Atomic Cocktail, which this Thursday, Aug. 19, observes National Radio Day from 5 to 6 p.m. California time at www.luxuriamusic.com. Do stop by as DJ host Vic Tripp honors the old wireless with one radio-themed song per set, and spins sides by Wanda Jackson, Eddie Floyd, the Reigning Sounds, Olympics and others. Plus: Live Action House Ultra-Chatroom, your song requests & dedications and some pertinent shtiklach from comic Pete Barbutti. “Will you remember Jerry Lee/ John Lennon, T. Rex and ole Moulty?”
