Dusty Grooves
with Rotating Hosts
Saturdays at 8:00PM
1st Saturday: Joe Pedretti
If it has to do with music, Joe is probably into it. A bassist that has played in 17 performing bands over 38 years, mobile dj, radio dj, hobbyist recording engineer, and avid music collector with over 5000 lp’s and cd’s in his ever growing collection. “I have a strong belief that there is great music in every genre, and I love exploring it.” Joe has been spinning vinyl for WDRT since 2014.
2nd Saturday: Mike Crotser & Andy Nelson
Andy and Mike host Dusty Grooves on the second Saturday of each month. We play a wide variety of music and if we have a record in our collection there is a good chance it will be played. We are willing to choose music others are embarrassed to play. As we see it, being middle aged men, we have nothing to lose.
Being said, we lean towards playing rock and pop music from when the LP dominated the market. Often, we play two songs off a particular album so the audience can hear deeper cuts from an artist. Our banter attempts to loosely organize a theme, but also showcases that we are OK with not being audiophile perfectionists.
3rd Saturday: DJ A
DJ A is honored to be a part of WDRT and share music with the broader community, both locally and beyond. He believes music is a vital part of life, having been in numerous bands over the years, and has been a DJ on WDRT since it went on the air. You are most likely to see him out and about exploring the Driftless area with his family, likely on two wheels.
4th Saturday: Motownjones
My obsession with music, unhealthy at times, began in the early 80s (around age 6) when Buck Loomis, the local Stansfield guy, gifted me a box of 45’s. If I were to name my top 100 bands, The Beatles would not make the list, but the 45 of “Nowhere Man/I’m Looking Through You” had an enormous impact on me. The philosophical lyrics continue to guide me through life to this day.
In the late 80s, when I was 14, I attended my first concert and met 2 out of the 3 bands from that show, setting the madness in motion. WDRT has given me the opportunity to share some of the great music I have discovered over the years. From folk to punk and many genres in between, this shows for you and me. Thanks for tuning in!
5th Saturday: Titmouse
Every 5th Sunday, expect a variety of unique tracks pulled from the eclectic archives of the House of Titmouse. Might there be jazz? Avant garde? Orchestral? Soul? Hip hop? Noise? Poetry? One thing you can count on is a cameo by Joanna Newsom. Enthusiast of many genres, Titmouse is also the co- host of Booty Tunes For The Dairy Air, WDRT’s longest airing dance music program.
