Request for an August DJ for Yehoodi Radio

I have been getting great response from this thread and have scheduled guest DJs for most of the fall already, BUT I am having trouble finding a DJ who is able to put together a show for August. If you are interested and can put together a show in the next two weeks, please drop me an email at jesse@yehoodi.com.

Thanks!

Jesse

August Thursday Guest DJ: Freddie Dickinson (Seattle, Washington)

Freddie Dickinson is our August guest DJ on Yehoodi Radio. Here's a little about Freddie:

"Freddie is always hot and anxious to play savage rhythms until all the cats join in. Spreadin' rhythm around wherever he plays, Freddie will make you shake the blues away. He's brought lindy hoppers delight at every tub from Seattle to Herrang, at events big and small. He's so very diga diga doo by nature; he's been known to let it get sweet and hot until your sister kate shouts "Ochi!" four or five times. If he could be with you four hours tonight, he'll take you through the magic sounds of swing -- listen for the sounds of brass, reeds, rhythms, and rhymes!"

Enjoy! :)

Jesse

Those of us influenced by the Seattle scene have also adopted the term. I had to explain what it meant to someone I was chatting with a couple weeks ago.

Yes, the rumors of my early demise were overstated. They don't make ninjas like they used to.
