When I first arrived in the city, as an overworked or out-of-work Stage Manager, I would often come home late at night and wide awake.
One of the first friends I had, to my mind, was an amazing DJ who was on the air from 10-2 (or longer) On WNEW (?) Vin Scelsa.
I found him the old fashioned way. I turned on the radio and turned the knob until I hit a song I liked. When a song came on I didn't like, I'd change the channel. i found that during his time slot, I was less likely to turn it off at all. Even the songs I didn't like (or wasn't ready for) were worth sticking around for.
His archives now exist online in the form of https://vindication.neocities.org/test.html .
This week at work, a millennial coworker asked how I access the radio. I tried not to laugh when I said, "I simply turn on the knob"
