Franklin TV: Pauly G & Vibe Spinning their Turntable show

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 12/08/2024

Pauly G (left) explaining the art on Boston’s album covers to Vibe (and to me.)

Paul Guarino and David ‘Vibe’ Butler are ramping and amping up more ‘Turntable’ shows. Each 2-hour program focuses on a great classic album and artist from the seventies rock era. They were prepping a program on our local band ‘Boston’.

Here, Pauly G is illustrating how the band’s ‘spaceship’ is a guitar. It’s more obvious when you turn the album upside-down.

turn the album upside-down

I did not know that. 

Mind blown.

I raved about their recent Peter Frampton show. I listened on my way to the studio. 

I pointedly noted, “Air guitar at highway speed? – not recommended.”

While our normal musical fare is jazz – ya gotta leave some room for classic rock. Turntable – It’s classic rock, done right.

And – as always –

Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm. 

And, thank you for watching.

 

The Turntable show is broadcast on wfpr.fm and on the Franklin area FM band at 102.9 -> Thursday’s at 9:00 AM, 12:00 noon, & 6:00 PM
