A recipient of Lifetime Achievement honors from both PEN-USA-WEST and the William Whitehead Awards, street hustler-cum-college professor Rechy has written twelve books, all of which could euphemistically be said to draw on his skill with the sword as well as the pen. This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE chats with biographer CHARLES CASILLO about the iconic novelist's upbringing and the significance of "City of Night," and solicits a reading by Casillo from his "OUTLAW: THE LIVES AND CAREERS OF JOHN RECHY" [Alyson Books] (with intro/outro music from the Rechy-inspired "YMCA" by THE VILLAGE PEOPLE) [8:50] + "TWO" I.D. by JOHN RECHY [:10] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . >. . . . . . . 9:00 [www.johnrechy.com] SEGMENT #3 - If you "REMEMBER WHO I AM" (excerpts from "Postcards From Mexico" and "The Shape I Found You In" from the new CD by GIRLYMAN), "THE ONE YOU CHOOSE" (the title cut and "Double My Wardrobe" from STEVEN FRANZ's debut CD) could be "WAITING FOR YOU" ("Sorry" and "More Love" from the debut CD by NHOJJ) -- they're all in this month's musical mix from the "AUDIOFILE" (with comments by the artists, hosted by CHRIS WILSON & JD DOYLE and produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM) . . . . . . . . 6:50 = artist contact info = GIRLYMAN NHOJJ STEVEN FRANZ Clever Shark Records PO Box 1145 1178 NE 98 St. PO Box 1078 New York, N.Y. 10276 Miami Shores, FL 33138 New York, N.Y. 10011 Nhojj@nhojj.com steven@stevenfranz.com info@girlyman.com www.nhojj.com www.stevenfranz.com www.girlyman.com Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:35 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ----------------------------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, RECOUNTING THE LIVES AND CAREERS OF GAY LITERARY "OUTLAW" JOHN RECHY, AND GENDER POP, CARIBBEAN COOK-UP AND DOUBLE WARDROBES DECORATE THE "AUDIOFILE"...
