If you've been in radio, you know the name Art Vuolo. He's the man that has trekked across the country videotaping air personalities doing their thing for the past forty years or so. His first audio aircheck, by the way, was his fellow Ann Arbor buddy John Records Landecker in 1966. That story is in the upcoming "Records Truly is My Middle Name".
According to the RAMP Newsletter, Art is venturing onto the other side of the camera this weekend. Here are the details...
As radio's reigning "Best Friend," legendary videographer Art Vuolo has seen the inside of hundreds, possibly thousands of radio stations during his exemplary career. Usually that view is from the "Visitors" side of the console... but all that is about to change, as Art boldly prepares to temporarily switch teams, slap on the cans and play for "Home" this Sunday, November 25. That's right -- Art will gallantly attempt to assume the deceptive easy role of DJ and do an online Oldies show from Cleveland, which will delivered worldwide over the prestigious Internet. Art's temporary home is wixy1260online.com, a tribute to the legendary WIXY-AM 1260 that reigned from 1965-1975...The Art Vuolo Radio Experience™ will rule the Interwebs this Sunday from 3-6pm ET, so please stick a Post-It note on your monitor as a reminder...To give you a rough idea of the level of professional entertainment you are in store for, Art posted this true story on his Facebook page -- "Haven't jocked since 1989 when I took the needle off a record while it was playing on the air!"
