Soul Strut

<blockquote>Didn't Wildman Steve disappear at some point? Maybe I am remembering this wrong. Regardless, I loved this show so damn much. My dude Dkae used to bring me the tapes from LI every couple of weeks. DJ Riz is seriously one of the most well-rounded DJ's of all time. Great at the club. Great on the radio. Dope doubles and scratches. Where is the Sweendoggy Dogg? I KNOW he must have been tuning in to this on the regular. </blockquote><br />Nah man, I didn't tune into it that regularly unfortunately.  I used to find the show by accident when I would scroll up and down the radio tuner while laying in bed but this was back in the mid to late '80s.  I live a few miles from Adelphi so it came in nice and clear.  I'd listen for a little while but wind up falling asleep or shutting it off when they would start talking.  Never even thought to tape it, I didn't start doing that until I got turned onto Stretch in '93-'94.  I DO remember that this was the first place I heard Public Enemy, I'll never forget that because as soon as I turned onto the station I heard Flavor for the first time and thought some crackhead had invaded the studio.  When I started listening to Stretch I picked up on Mr. Mayhem and Riz at NYU then heard them talking about 'BAU one night, and realized that was the show I used to hear now and then.  Kinda kicked myself for not taping it, but it wasn't my thing at the time so oh well.  I'll gladly borrow some of those old joints from you if they're taking up too much space!!<br /><br />The other thing, I didn't know shit about college radio back then.  I'd try and find the station again the next night or a few nights later and they'd be playing some whole different shit, or not even be on the air at all at some times.  I thought for awhile that I was picking up some pirate radio or some far-away station that only came in once in awhile.  What did I know, I was only 12.
