[78-L] CKUA's Old-disc jockey

[Stephen Davies]

David L.,
yes, John Worthington has a second CD of restored music, called "The
Old-disc Jockey Restored, Volume II".

After sixty years on the air (and 35 as the O-DJ), he went into
semi-retirement last month, and he no longer produces new programs.  CKUA
is relying on repeats now, because his show was a mainstay of their
schedule.

CKUA also streams for those who are interested, and his show can be heard
Sundays at 13:00 (MST), repeating Wednesdays at 18:00 p.m. (MST).  (and I'm
moonlighting both of those times to pay for my record fix.  Too bad for
me.)  http://ckua.org

John doesn't just spin the old discs, he muses about everyone and the
personnel on them.  He has a good ear for picking out soloists.

He did put Mart Kenney's theme song on his first CD.  I'm unable to read
the contents of his second disc, but it's a sure bet so I'll order it.

John always made room in the show for a Duke Ellington side.  He continues
to put in long hours restoring the discs.

There is an interview with John Worthington (two links) and a documentary
(one link).  Both can be streamed from CKUA at
