Vin's Show of November 10, 2007
Vin observes his 40th anniversary in New York radio
with the help of a unique group of friends. They say
that women remember better than men, so since
Vin's memory is pretty much shot he's invited 5 women
who have played an important part in his radio life
at various times over the last 40 years to
join him for an old-style free-form bull session. They're Vin's radio sisters:
Rita Houston; Meg Griffin; his erstwhile K-ROCK and
WNEW Producer Kara Manning; his FUV producer Kim Ferdinando
and former radio WNEW-FM and CBS radio journalist Robin Sagon.
He's invited the women to pick whatever music they'll be playing
from 8-10 PM. Then from 10 to midnight he'll see what he can remember.

LATEST INSTALLMENT ADDED 04/08/06!

For three years I presented free-form
internet-only radio with an emphasis on music
and upbeat conversation. Meanwhile, the earth
continued to revolve around the sun,
rising and setting on an increasingly arrogant
and repressive American government.
All my patience and good will are exhausted.
This and the next several editions of "My Midlife Crisis"
will be overflowing with resentment
and righteous indignation.
And you'll find them all here
