In addition to my large collection
of recordings of myself DJing different types music, I have a
decent collection of recordings of other DJs doing their thing.
This page is where I will post some of my recordings of other
DJs for downloading. There is some truly classic stuff I will be
posting here. For example, check out this amazing set to kick
this page off with:
WFIT-FM Scrambled Eggs Mix
09/01/90
Labor Day Weekend 1990
Here is an extraordinarily splendiferous episode of WFIT-FMs
epic early Saturday morning live mix show called "The Scrambled
Eggs Mix". The shows time slot was 8AM to 10AM. Some may find
that a strange time slot for a dance mix show but, I suspect a
large quantity of the listeners hadn't gone to sleep the night
before anyway and I know many of the DJs hadn't. (You can tell
by how grouchy Andy is that he sure hadn't.)
For those who remember the show, this will bring back great
memories and for those who don't, it will give you a small
glimpse into the zany, cutting edge, nationally recognized,
award winning, whacky world that was WFIT-FM, in the prime it's
of it's greatness & insanity. If I ever write an
autobiography, the chapter about my years at WFIT would
certainly be one of the best, one of the most interesting and
one of the most unbelievable of all. If you are ever bored and
see me around, just ask me to tell you a WFIT story, I have a
ton of them, each funnier than the last. (The story about Andy
Hughes, Meister Ebb and the new copy machine immediately comes
to mind, with the note on Jungle Jon's desk saying "Don't look
up", followed by the Andy Huge? fiasco.)
Your host for "The Scrambled Eggs Mix" show is Meister Ebb, who
is, quite simply, totally beyond description, both as an on-air
personality and, quite frankly, in real life as well. To say he
adds character to the show would be putting it mildly. Ebb was
not a club DJ and does not mix but adds play by play commentary,
much like a deranged sports announcer. In his spare time,
Meister Ebb's hobbies include surfing, being an engineer for
NASA and drinking beer. (Although not necessarily in that
order.)
The Scrambled Eggs Mix weekly DJ lineup would vary but the main
DJs were Andy Hughes and Jimmy Velcro. On Labor Day Weekend 1990
they invited Kimball Collins and Dave Cannalte in to join in as
guest DJs on the mix team. I'm not really sure that Kimball and
Dave knew precisely what kind of mayhem they were walking into,
or if they would have actually shown up had they known but, I do
know, in the end, they had a good time. I'm sure they are still
wondering, to this day, who the hell that Meister Ebb dude was.
Being recorded in the fall of 1990, there is some seriously old
school music in this show. This is just about as old school as
it gets. Any more old school and you would of had to crank start
the school bus. A year before this show, all these DJs were
spinning industrial and new beat as house and techno didn't
fully catch on to the underground in Florida until 89/90.
You may wonder where I was during all this and the answer is
asleep. I set my Hi-Fi VCR the night before to record, so I
could get a few hours of needed rest. However, I did make it to
the radio station by the end of this show and joined Jimmy,
Andy, Dave Kimball, Meister Ebb and a few others that morning
for an after show breakfast.
So here it is in it's entirety, the WFIT-FM Labor Day Weekend
1990 Scrambled Eggs Mix Show with your host Meister Ebb and DJs
Jimmy Velcro, Andy Hughes, Kimball Collins and Dave Cannalte:

Andy Hughes spun at Producers with me on 9/24/11. After having
my Bob is Back party there, we figured we would give it a shot
and do a weekly event, as there is no mandatory closing time. We
had some good nights and a lot of fun. However, were never able
to attract enough people to make it worthwhile. The club itself
had a reputation we were unable to overcome, along with not
having been remodeled in twenty years. It was entertaining, but
didn't make sense financially. I have some of my sets from there
posted in the archive and this one of Andy is in the vault as
this is where I keep recordings of other DJs.
