2016 WCWP Homecoming Weekend, first few hours October 7, 2016

For the second year in a row, I was the leadoff hitter, so to speak, for the WCWP Homecoming Weekend. Instrumental Invasion with Mike Chimeri kicked things off at noon today.

I left the house just before 9:00 and took the Hicksville-Wantagh Community Shuttle to Hicksville LIRR Station. Once I got there, I had to wait a half hour for the n20H to arrive. I was at LIU Post by 10:15.

Once I got to WCWP, LIU Post’s campus radio station, I set up in Studio 2 and took a few pictures:

Eventually, noon came and the show began. After my first aircheck, I had Jeff Kroll take a picture of me at the board:

Jeff and his wife Pat were in the building during my show, as were Bruce Leonard and Magick Mike Hendryx, whose show followed mine.

I took two more pictures during the show:

Overall, I had a great show. There were a few mistakes and flubs, but that always happens in a live broadcast. Here’s how I looked and sounded during talk breaks:

And here’s how the transitions between songs sounded:

Now that you’ve heard the airchecks, and seen their video equivalent, here’s the playlist.

I’ll be back at LIU Post and WCWP tomorrow for Homecoming and the announcement of the 2017 class of the WCWP Hall of Fame.

Before we go, here are two pictures from the start of Magick Mike Hendryx’s show, engineered by Bruce Leonard, and video of his opening aircheck:
