During this and the next two installments of "This Way Out", CHRIS WILSON & J.D. DOYLE, the hosts of our monthly "AudioFile" segment, will be exploring lesbigay musical heritage in a special series called "QUEER VINYL" [produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM]. In this week's Part One, J.D. (who has one of the most extensive private collections of GLBT music and also hosts his own "Queer Music Heritage" program on KPFT in Houston, Texas) lays out his criteria for selecting the 10 songs to include in this series, and he and Chris play and discuss the first three tunes: "Masculine Women and Feminine Men" by MERRITT BRUNIES & HIS FRIARS INN ORCHESTRA (a few different folks recorded this tune, this one's probably the earliest, recorded by this British group in February 1926); "Prove It On Me Blues" by the legendary MA RAINEY (from 1928, most historians peg her as at least bi); and "Angry Atthis", written and performed by MAXINE FELDMAN (from 1972, and probably the first record released by an openly-lesbian singer) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15:55 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:20 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", ANTIQUE TUNES CHART LESBIGAY MUSICAL HERITAGE IN "QUEER VINYL", THE FIRST OF A SPECIAL 3-PART SERIES...
