morning peter,
about the song top-listed on recent
playlists (and enjoyed [only in part i believe] at top of
recent shows),
w/ lyric "come back woodie guthrie. .
." (and possibly so-titled):
can the whole song be had for either
love or money?
they don't seem to have it at itunes
store for 99 cents so i guess i'm prepared to break down
and buy a cd if that's what it takes.
could you point me to which one
though, please?
loving your show more than ever.
keep up great work!

Hello,
This past Saturday I tuned into your
program for the first time. It was
halfway through the new Rufus
Wainwright song that caught my ear. I was
thrilled because I had not purchased
the CD yet. When the song was over I
left the dial just where it sat and
for what could have been an awful 40
minute, traffic filled ride on the
Belt Parkway, I heard some of the best
radio programming ever. It was
such a good program that I actually embraced
the idea of circling the blocks,
looking for a parking spot. When you gave
the set list, I frantically scribbled
down names I was unfamiliar with:
Damien Rice, Mojave 3, etc. The
following day, I went to Tower Records and
bought them all.
I thought I had discovered a secret
when I stumbled onto your program, but
when I searched on google, I
immediately realized that I am just one of
many, many New Yorkers who are
blessed to have you steering us through an
otherwise desperate sea of bad music.
So, I just wanted to say thank you
for such a fantastic radio program.
I look forward to many more Saturdays
tuning in,
and am wistful that I have missed so
many...
Best,

northern Michigan.
Coming back here to this crazy place
(mostly referring to our political situation and just the
rudeness,
aggresssion and stupidity that seemed
so much to be lacking in Europe) is often difficult enough

Dear Peter,
You’re great at what you do.
Please keep doing it.
I have been a WBAI person on and off
since 1979 as my
fortune, my address with respect to
the transmitter,
and station politics, have waxed and
waned. Most
recently in my weekly Saturday
sojourns in North
Jersey, I was thrilled by your
anti-war mixes this
past spring during the hideous
misadventures of the
Bush Regime.
The fire of old was upon the
airwaves!
Needless to say, current technology
being what it is,
I immediately grabbed the mobile
during the begathon
and re-subscribed via the premium of
your shows.
You are somewhat, to
radio-archivist-sound-art what
Richard Thompson is to folk-rock
guitar: a genius at
what he does, who is appreciated by a
relatively “small” number of people,
who harbor an
ambivalence toward their hero, in
that, they want him
to have greater recognition, and yet
simultaneously
fear that conventional “success”
might disrupt
and “ruin” the current productive
wonder!
Nonetheless, may you enjoy whatever
“success” that is
appropriate for your purposes!
I particularly enjoyed your work
circa 1984, at the
time of the ascendancy of
Reagan-speak...
Tom McNevin
BTW: You have undoubtedly noticed
that there have been
an astonishing number of “famous”
people who have
checked out this year, most it seems,
in the past 4
months. From Buddy Ebsen, to
Leni Riefenstahl and
Edward Teller, who truly bring the
20th Century to an
end, from Gregory Peck to Strom
Thurmond, not to
mention those of the last 3
days. I guess you have
your work cut out for you as it’s
going to be one hell
of a Short Cut this year!

Peter -
Thank you again for playing my track
'The Preacher & The Devil' - I listened to your show yesterday and
loved it.
Especially the sound collages - all
of that stuff worked really well.
And the set of 'Godwacker' 'The
Preacher & The Devil' and 'You Gotta Serve Somebody'
came across beautifully (in my opinion)
- each track complimented the other
in provactive ways.
The "Saints & Devils" CD project
is, on one level, a way for me to navigate and dig into
religious iconography and modes of worship.
It's a deep well, and I've enjoyed
and been inspired by hearing my tracks programmed
in a variety of creative ways by DJs
here in the states as well as overseas.
There's a link to WBAI on my website

Hi Peter.
Just a note to let you know that
since you received your Wah Wah Willie cd, 'Cinema',
it has been playlisted on about 35
major city FM stations across the USA and Canada.
This without any hype, no video, only
music.
In the last 3 weeks 7 of the tracks
have featured in prime time on AT&T Cable TV in
California.
The upshot of this is that it was the
confidence we gained from sending the disc to you,
and you playing a cut, in New York,
that gave us the spirit to contact others.
So, cheers to you, and a "Thank You
Bigger Than Texas"
for being so open to music from an
unknown artist from underneath the planet.

fellow relate to the album?
I am from your Uruguay, where tango
is part of the culture just as it is in Argentina.
Uruguay has very good tango singers. Carlos Gardel spent a
great part of his life in Uruguay and there are those who
argue that he was born in Uruguay also.

Peter,
I am a listener from the WBAI/FM:
Steve Post/Larry Josephson era; although it really seems
like just a few weeks ago.
Actually lost touch for some time,
probably due to the fact that your show schedule changed,
only to find you, again,
as I was turning onto to West 45th
Street, NYC, about 18 months ago.
You were not "on mike," but the music
on FM/99.5 that Saturday afternoon was distinctive.
But, enough about history.
Ry Cooder and, I believe, his son
Jacquim, went to Cuba several years ago and rediscovered
an honest,
unadulterabed form of music. To
my mind it's almost like listening to the late Hank
Williams. You connect immediately.
You forgive the marginal selections,
but make no mistakes, it's not processed, not produced,
not formated to 3 or 4 minutes for air-play.
It just is what it is - great
music.
Ferrer was actually born at a dance
in 1927 in Santiago, Cuba.

Hello Peter,

I've been listening to them for about

Is there any chance you have 2 extra
tickets that you'd be willing to spare for a poor college
student and his girlfriend who completely LOVE this
group? Their cover of "Summertime" with Hubert Laws
is amazing, by the way.
If there's any way you could get that

Well, thanks so much for your

Peter,
I have really been loving the
Maxwell Implosion you've been playing and
would love to get a copy of the CD...
I'll be flying to South Africa soon
for a 12-week internship and have bought
a minidisc recorder and a couple of
mics to do some sound gathering while
I'm there. I have to say that your
mixes have been one of the main
inspirations for me to strike out on
this new path of creativity. Thanks for
the wonderful hours you've given me.

hello,
My name is Danny. I've just returned to New York area
after completing
basic training at fort knox, ky. I'm
a tanker for the us army. In any case,
what i missed most while i was away
was my music. Now that i'm on leave and
free to listen to music i can't find
anything worth listening to. That was
until i was flipping through the
stations on saturday afternoon when i came
across your station and heard "the
maxwell implosion." I'll be picking up my
copy tomorrow but if i did hear
correctly this group is performing in the
metro area. I can't find a listing of
them anywhere. Will they be playing the
metro area? I would appreciate your
help with this matter.
Thank you.
Continue playing the music that
stops people from changing that station.

Hi Peter:
Really enjoyed the Benny Goodman
stuff last week.
I bought the Tom Waits new CDs and am listening to those.
They are not as tuneful as his last
few releases. I may have to give them a few listens.
Actually I only listened to Blood
Money, maybe Alice is completely different.
I am looking for that type of music
for a project I'm doing and it was very inspirational to
the look of the edited film segment I want to do...
Hope you are well.
Keep up those good tunes.

Peter,
I always enjoy your program and the
wide variety of music that you play.
I particularly enjoyed last
Saturday's program on NY theater.
There's one current off-Broadway
musical I wished you had covered in your program: "The
Last 5 Years",
which has the best new score
I've heard in a long time. A
demo of the composer Jason Robert Brown singing one of the
shows songs is on the music page of the shows website
(www.lastfiveyears.com), and the original cast album is
coming out on April 16th.
I highly recommend the show, which is
almost continuous music.
The gorgeous arrangements are played
by a great six-piece band that is heavy on strings
(guitar, violin, cello, bass) and
that is led by the composer on piano.
(I have no connection with the show,
other than as a fan!)

I've been listening to Sat's show

I don't know how long this
marathon will last, but if you're still pitching next
Saturday, I have a song to offer.
"We Need Some Money" a mid 80's Go Go
song by Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers.
It's a soulful,rhythmic, call &
response song that stands on it's own, but would be
perfect during fund raising...
Thanks for your great work.

Dear Peter,
Listening to your July 2nd
program, I wanted to know the title of the last
song you played during the show's
last moments. The artist was female and
the lyrics started: "Iam the
sum, I am the moon."
Thank you for your time

Hi Peter:
I listened to this morning's
"Mixed-Up" program and I really loved it!
I heard some songs from Nuggets
2. I presume that this set recently released.
Are there past editions and are they
out of print? Please let me know.
You mentioned about the
playlist. Where can I obtain your playlist
from? Also,
I've noticed that you've mentioned
interesting venues and concerts goings-on.
Unfortunately, I don't have much time
to take down notes while I'm listening
because I'm listening while I'm
working.
Please let me know where you obtain
concert/live shows/ venues information.
thanks

Dear Peter,
I have been a listener (and
supporter) for a while now...
Yours is one of the few programs I
can still bear listening to on WBAI. I always
welcome
the eclectic mix of music on "All
Mixed Up" and am grateful for the dignity with which
you present yourself in spite of all
the current madness. Your position vis-a-vis the
current "martial law" at the station
has been presented subtly but distinctly. I can
imagine it's not an easy atmosphere
in which to work...
I'll look forward to future Monday
programming and send my best wishes for your continued
inspiration and success. I love
the clips from the movie "Buffalo 66" at the end of the
program - it's a particular
favorite of mine.
If you ever see Delphine Blue,
please give her a big hug from one of her many fans.
She is dearly missed!
Thanks again!

seeing that you claimed it is
the best of 2000. I am quite suprised at you.
Usually I can take your
recommendations, sight unseen, and they work out
pretty well. For example I got
the new St Entienne CD on your recommendation
list and also the new XTC album
on the list and love them both. I also
bought Kid A from RadioHead
yesterday, and am giving it a listen to for the
first time now. I can at least
understand it and see how it can grow on you.
But PJ Harvey? To tell you the

I was in my car and you played a couple tracks I was

The tune you played around 11:05 AM
had a reprise something like: We live in a beautiful

You followed this with a mix --
sounded like movie soundtrack of Steve Martin dubbed over.
Can you tell me about these?

Dear Peter Bochan: I was in

Luther King day--and so I had the
pleasure of listening carefully to it. The
program was deeply moving--and deeply
felt--and King's consideration of his
own obituary brought tears to my
eyes. I also appreciated your final moments
on the show--and your appeal to the
powers of free speech. That, too, was
deeply moving, deeply felt.

It was the most sincere and

It is hard for me to
accept the reactions of fear and denial that some
producers and others are having. The audience members that
call in and say, "We want to hear regular programming
again." amazes me. What lazyold-bourgeois-'please

It encourages me that
you are speaking the truth so eloquently and are still

Keep on fighting the good fight.

The 3 CD anniversary set finally

sort of a sound montage haiku....very

I tried to listen to your WBAI

the portion of the 21st Century
