MT on radiothatdoesntsuck: A tribute show to the late Hal Willner who invented the multi-artist tribute album and brought that to high art and coordinated sketch music for SNL 1980-2020 when Covid took him is set this week. He also arranged for many amazing and singular events. His friends including me miss him dearly. Willner was an irreplaceable. Nobody else did what he did--and he told me growing up in Philadelphia Gene Shay the folk DJ and Michael Tearson were his top infl;uences musically for diversity and musical daring. It streams on www.RTDS.ca Tuesday 9a/3p/9p/3a ET before going on to On Demand.
