In preparation for his annual pilgrimage to Texas for Thanksgiving, DJ Mackie is digging deep in the caverns of Texas music.    On Saturday, November 23rd, LOST TREASURES will feature gems from some forgotten Texas rock groups like Mouse & the Traps and The Kitchen Cinq, as well as funk from Kashmere Stage Band and blues from Texan greats Lightning Hopkins and Henry Ragtime Thomas.   The International Artists label, a favorite of LOST TREASURES, will also play heavily in the mix with psych explorations by The Red Crayola and the 13th Floor Elevators.   Tune in at 9am locally at 94.3 FM and online at takomaradio.org

This Saturday, November 9th, LOST TREASURES celebrates Joe Bussard, legendary music collector, record producer, and guitarist.   Over the course of 65 years, Bussard amassed one of the world’s greatest collection of 78rpm records numbering 25,000 at one point.  In addition to working as a radio DJ all of his life, Bussard also founded his own label in 1964 and released hundreds of 78 records out of his home in Frederick, MD.   DJ Mackie will play treasures from the Bussard collection and as well as music from his Fonotone label.  9:00am this Saturday on 94.3 FM or streaming worldwide:  takomaradio.org
