Clockwise from top left: Bettye LaVette, Bright Eyes, Bruce Springsteen, HAIM

The indie artists that helped us through the pandemic in 2020 ranged from new acts (Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, Dehd, and Kruangbin) to the old standbys (the Stones, Springsteen, Bettye LaVette, and Semisonic). And we couldn't help but like a couple novelty songs (Antibodies by Nicholas Braun, and Hallucinogenics by Matt Maeson).

Rick’s love of radio began at the campus radio station of a small engineering college in upstate New York. Drafted for the Viet Nam war, he was fortunate to be sent in the opposite direction to host afternoon drive at “The Rock of East Africa” (an American Forces radio station in Asmara, Ethiopia). He spent the following 10 years working in commercial radio in suburban New York, Fort Pierce, and Daytona Beach.
