Sullivan County Catskills Edition

WJFF is Sullivan County’s public radio station. Broadcasting out

of Jeffersonville New York, they offer a wide span of music, news and

public affairs. In addition to airing National Public Radio shows, they

also broadcast Pacifica Radio, shows from the BBC and a very eclectic

mix of locally produced shows that cover all manner of music and dis-

cussion. WJFF has been on the air since February of 1990, and may be

the only completely hydropowered radio station in the United States.

The station maintains a rich relationship with the local commu-

nity. They host many happenings throughout the year. Barbeques,

dances, yard sales, auctions and live music weekends among other

events are greatly enjoyed by everyone who attends them.

Perhaps their most anticipated fundraising event is the annual

WJFF Music Sale. Held at the White Sulphur Springs Fire Hall on the

Saturday of each Thanksgiving weekend, the sale features a silent auc-

tion for a wide variety of donated audio components and musical instru-

ments. There are music books and DVDs for sale as well, but it’s the

vinyl records that really draw the crowds. Hundreds of used 45 rpm sin-

gles, and thousands of used long playing records can be purchased for

less than a dollar apiece, though some cherry-picked premium albums

will sell for more. Due to entire collections being donated, often times a

wide variety of titles by any given artist (or genre) can be found. Come

early, and bring a box or bag to haul away your newfound treasures!

As the Tattler went to press it

was reported that Paul Barrere,

long time guitarist for Little Feat,

has passed away at age 71. For

those who are fans of the band,

this is an unimaginable blow.

Folks who are unfamiliar with

their work are encouraged to

check out 1978’s double live

Waiting For Columbus. Yet an-

other true contender forsaken by

the R’n’R Hall of Fame…*sigh*

GRATEFUL DEAD GIANTS STADIUM

Lots of good stuff out now from the good old Grateful Dead: The Giants Stadium

1987, 1989, 1991 box set contains a single 1987 show (sans the Bob Dylan closing set),

two complete shows each from the years 1989 & 1991, as well as video content and well

designed spiral bound book, packaged lovingly in a lavish yet compact and colorful box.

All the shows are emblematic of the tight, high energy performances and musical peaks

that the band was attaining at the time. The first three shows were recorded on 24 track

tape. The final two, from 1991, were the only live shows of thousands that the band

played, to have been recorded on 48 track analog tape. This means that each voice, instru-

ment - in fact, each drum & cymbal, was carefully mixed into the final master for sparkling

audio clarity that is miles above the average sound on a GD live recording. The perform-

ances are sterling examples of the band’s capabilities on the ‘91 summer tour, which fea-

tured virtuoso keyboardist Bruce Hornsby on grand piano. The 6/17/91 set is included on

both CD and a choice of blu ray or DVD. Also available is that show as a stand alone 3 CD

audio set, entitled Saint of Circumstance: Giants Stadium East Rutherford NJ 6/17/91.
