During my first session as a deejay-in-training in 2022, I experienced a deep sense of the “welcoming vibe” of WOMR. Driving home that night I thought, “that place (WOMR) is really good for the soul.”
My musical vision for volunteer deejay shows is to translate this WOMR vibe into a couple of hours of theme-oriented radio, featuring familiar and offbeat themes. I call it simply “Good for the Soul.”
Each set of songs I play is a chapter. These chapters hopefully add up to a playlist of a sonically creative story, a whimsical musical tale for your day.
The multi-genre menu for each themed show includes the usual suspects. Bo Diddley to Boy Genius, Sinatra to Sondheim, Billie Holiday to Beyonce, and some surprising flavors in between.
As a lifelong record and cd collector my media is strictly old school. I love keeping the “disc” in disc jockey and the joy of spinning authentic “stacks of wax” on the air.
And if that isn’t enough to juggle for each show, I even offer dollops of commentary about the music and artists, or occasional slices of random reflections.
So, with our daily challenges and a static-filled world, I hope my radio program offers something that’s good for each of the souls in the listening audience.
…Oh by the way, I relocated from my native Connecticut to the Cape, hence the moniker “Washashore Phil.”
