Welcome to the
Old Music Collector's Home

Hey!  Do you want to hear something weird and wonderful?
Are you a fan of Dr. Demento who can no longer hear him?

If your answer is Yes.... then....

You will enjoy listening to "Music with Moskowitz".  It's one of the best novelty and old-time country music programs on radio which explores the "back-waters and under-bellies of country music".  Like Madman Moskowitz says:

Fun, frivolity, nostalgia, and good times!

Some people have called him the Seattle area's answer to Dr. Demento, and I must agree.  He is a notch off, and you would have to be if you played some of the records he plays on the radio!  He has given me more than 22 years of enjoyment -- filled with belly laughs and musical nostalgia trips.

How to hear the program

You will have to live near the Everett area of Washington State in the USA for the best reception on your FM radio, because KSER uses only a 5800-Watt transmitter.  If you don't live in the area, you can go to KSER's web-site and listen to the show over the Internet.

KSER-FM 90.7 MHz, Saturday afternoon, noon - 2:00pm (Pacific Time).

Moskowitz is no longer doing the Sunday night on Classic Country KYCW-AM 1090 MHz in Seattle, because that station changed to progressive-talk-radio format on 25-Oct-2004. Here's a little info for those who didn't hear the Sunday night show.

His Sunday night show on KYCW-AM was a 5-hour show with 2.5 to 3 hours of novelty music followed by more serious classic country.  The broadcast could be heard over a fairly wide area with a sensitive radio -- from Tacoma on up to Arlington.  After it got dark, the Sunday night show was regularly heard by listeners in Canada.  Under the right conditions the signal can travel a lot further.  Moskowitz once got a call from a listener who stumbled onto KYCW, and this listener lived in the Puna District on the big island of Hawaii!

Trivia for any European lurkers who are DX'ers:  We call it AM (amplitude modulation) radio because the long-wave band (150-400 Khz) isn't used for broadcasting in North America and shortwave listeners are a minority.  If you're an American and see a radio with an MW (medium-wave) marking, it's just the regular 530-1710 Khz AM broadcast band under its technically correct name.  Only shortwave listeners, HAM (amateur radio) operators, and radio engineers refer to the AM band as the medium-wave band.

Would you like to hear the Madman again on Sunday nights on a powerful Seattle FM station like back in the 1980's and 1990's?

Those of you who have been listening to the Madman for ages, loyally following him from station to station as best you can, remember how it was when Moskowitz's show was brand-new to you.  You tried never to miss a show, because you never knew what he would play.  If you're an old-timer, then you remember how it felt when you got someone else hooked on this show.  Maybe that son or grandson finally heard the original verson of that old song you always sang, or maybe murdered, in the bathtub!  :-)

I first heard Moskowitz in July of 1982 on KMPS-FM when he played, for the most part, only novelty music.  That was the first time I heard "Mama, Don't Whip Little Buford" by Homer & Jethro!  More serious country on Sunday night is nothing new to the Seattle area.  Some of you rememember the Gary Vance Sunday Show that was heard on Sunday nights in the late '70's and early '80's?  Jay Hamilton would come in at 10pm and do a show called "Collector's Items" where he'd play 3 entire albums that were either hard to find or long out of print. I'd be listening every Sunday night for my weekly dose of classic country and bluegrass.  After Gary Vance, Jay Hamilton, Big Ed Dunaway, then Moskowitz permanentaly took over the time-slot.  Moskowitz eventually added a 3-hour Saturday night country oldies show on KMPS-AM 1300 while still playing the funny stuff on the FM side on Sunday nights.  After KMPS, Mosk moved to station to station, combining the two formats, usually playing the funny stuff first and serious stuff last.

When Mosk left a commercial station, it was usually because the station changed format or was sold. Judging by all the musical requests he got each week, I don't think lack of listeners was a problem!  Even some listeners got their share of fame.  One such listener was 19 year old Melissa Farrington in Tacoma, a Billy Murray freak, who sent Mosk a bunch of Billy Murray recordings, including "Shut the door, they're coming through the Window!", which he played on the first Fan Appreciation night.  Singer Billy Murray recorded during the early 1900's through the late 1920's, and died in 1945!

How many of you remember all that and wonder when will Moskowitz be back on a powerful Seattle FM station so you can get your Sunday night fill of the nostalgia bin and the funny farm?  it depends on you and your country-music-loving friends!  One person can't do it alone!

I've been told that radio station KKWF-FM 100.7 (The Wolf) in Seattle is asking listeners what they would like to hear on The WOLF.  Why not get your friends to call, write, or E-mail them, saying that they'd like to hear Madman Moskowitz back on the air on a powerful Seattle FM station like The Wolf?  Isn't it true that Sunday night isn't Sunday night for you without the novelty music and the more serious classic country that goes all the way back to the 1920's?  Don't you want to give the young people in your life some regular exposure to the history of country music?

Info about the Program

Whether it's the serious, sentimental stuff or the crazy novelty stuff, I can guarantee that this show will have you saying one or both of the following:

1. I haven't heard that in ages!
2. I didn't know there actually was such a song!

He'll play anything that most radio stations won't play anymore.  Most of the songs you hear on the show are Moskowitz's own flat friends (records), and he has over 50,000 of them!  When it comes to classic country, the radio station might have songs going back to the early 1950's, but Moskowitz's country collection goes back to the early 1920's, and even a little further back for some pop and novelty music.

You may hear anything from Bob Wills and Gene Autry, to the old "Titanic" by Bradley Kincaid and "Drill Ye Terriers, Drill" by Dan Quinn (1901) that you may have heard in music class back in grammar (elementary) school, or maybe "Only The Moon-Man Knows" by Buck Ritchie and also by Bonnie Guitar.

In addition to listener requests, each show has a musical topic.  Topics such as rabbits, cats, dogs, ducks, chickens, pigs, frogs, fish, baseball, football, hunting, fishing, cars, boats, food, drinks, and politicians are musical topics at least once a year at certain times of the year.  St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving are always musically celebrated on the day or the Saturday before the actual day. This also applies to the first day of spring, Mother's Day, and Father's Day.  There are also themes such as "things to avoid", "overdoing it", "strange and unexpected noises", "bad drivers".....  You probably want a little example of that last topic.

Here are some songs about bad drivers that Moskowitz has played.  Some are hilarious and a few are tear-jerkers.

  Note:  Moskowitz has 2 versions of this song.  The original version was released in 1979 and mentions "running right by Seattle Slew, a racehorse down at the Longacres racetrack, and governor Dixie Lee Ray at the end ("Hey Dixie, this state's alright!"). The 1984 version, among other differences, mentions "tasting Moskowitz and spitting him out", whereas the 1979 version has Godzilla tasting Everett and spitting it out.  Anyone who drove through Everett on the freeway would always get a good whiff of the awful smell from the Scott Paper mill.  They installed pollution control devices on the smokestacks in the mid 1980's and they work so well that you can stand outside of the mill and forget you are next to the mill if you close your eyes!  Both of these versions are rare.  The long out-of-print 1979 45 RPM record is a collector's item because it was never released on CD, and only Moskowitz has the custom 1984 version.
• Ode to the Little Brown Shack out Back

  Note:  This is the one that goes: "Don't let them tear that little brown building down..."
  Madman Moskowitz has this sung by Billy Ed Wheeler (also the composer), by Jimmy Jenson the Swinging Swede, and by Ben Colder (aka Sheb Wooley)

Some of you may feel that one or more of the songs listed above is awful.  Once a year Madman Moskowitz does a show filled with the worst songs in his collection.  The song can be awful for a number of reasons, including but not limited to:

• Bad singing
• Bad playing
• Subject matter in poor taste
• A serious attempt that just didn't make it
• Being overly repetitious

Some songs are so unusual (maybe only to you) that you can't understand why some people like a particular song and keep requesting it.  They actually make you want to ask some questions that might be considered offensive to the artist.  Then there are those songs that make you wonder if the song was meant for adults or for kids.  These songs become very annoying to some adults when the kids (or overgrown kids) play or request them over and over.

Some of the following songs are requested every so often, so one or two of these may be played during a given show, but rarely will you hear all of these songs in the same show!

• The Girl Representing Brand X
    -- Faye DeWitt (1961)
• Fish
    -- Leona Anderson
• Here Fluffy
    -- Gloria Balsam
• Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
    -- William Shatner
• Paralyzed
    -- The Legendary Stardust Cowboy
• Let's do Something Cheap and Superficial
    -- Burt Reynolds
• With These Hands
    -- Debbie Dawn
• Send Me to Glory in a Glad Bag
  -- John Biggs
  Note:  For those who don't know, Glad is a brand of trash bag sold in the United States.  The slogan is, "Don't get mad, get Glad!".  These bags are supposedly easy to tie and don't break easily.  The smaller ones are meant to line your kitchen garbage pail, and the big ones are intended to hold yard waste and all of your trash for the weekly sanitation pick-up.  It should be obvious that this man is so poor that he wants to be buried in the local garbage dump.  If you don't live in the Seattle area and plan to go there, you should know that they refer to the various dumps as transfer stations.  I don't understand the reason behind this term, because most people would assume that a transfer station is where you might catch a city bus or change busses.

If you listen long enough, I know you will be thinking...

Christmas music in the summer?

He is a musical lunatic, and so are many of his listeners.  They are the ones who make the strange requests!  It also helps if a station such as KSER 90.7 FM has the following rule:  No Christmas music allowed between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.  The good folks at KSER realized that somebody has to offer some relief from all the holiday music which is played (over-played?) by other music stations during this time of the year.  Now you know the reason you will hear Moskowitz play novelty Christmas music in July or August.  He has played Christmas music on other stations now and then throughout the year, but he really let you have it during the 3 weeks just before Christmas.  On stations other than KSER, the pattern has always been "Christmas Gift Guide", "Bummed-Out Christmas", and finally a free-for-all on the week just before Christmas.  He can't do that on KSER, so get your tape recorders ready to record it in the summer and annoy your friends and neighbors with it during the Christmas season!   <grin>

Some listeners have sent him music from their own record/tape collection on audio cassettes.  Some of this music is rare and long out of print, and some of it has come from places as far away as Germany and New Zealand!  That's what happens when listeners send tapes of the show to friends and relatives around the world.

FUNNY-FARM FAVORITE

If you hear a song that you can't wait until next week to hear again, call the Madman during the show and vote for your Funny-Farm Favorite.  The three songs that receive the most votes (requests) during the show will be played again about 15 minutes before the end of the program.  This is similar to the Funny Five heard toward the end of each Dr. Demento Show, however:

1. The call is not long-distance for most people who listen over the air.
2. You get the results the same show.
3. Moskowitz does not play listener phone calls.
4. The Moskowitz show isn't over after the most-requested funny song has been played.

DON'T BOTHER ASKING FOR...

Moskowitz will not play "Kinko the Clown" by Ogden Edsel, because this song is about a pedophile.

Where can I find a certain song?

I know some of you will ask me where you can find a certain song you've heard on the show.  Maybe you want to hear more songs by that artist,  or you want the actual album.

1. Keep listening to the show and have your tape recorder ready to record.
2. Request the song!  Listener requests have a lot to do with what you hear on the show!
3. Use the Internet.  Some of the material is still in print and some newer artists have official and unofficial web-sites.
4. Contact Moskowitz.  If the song is currently available and if he has the album he will be able to give you the information via E-mail or over the radio.

Many of the songs he plays are rare and out of print.  He finds many of his records at garage sales and in thrift stores, and some are sent in by listeners.  This means I do not have the actual recordings (record, pre-recorded tape, CD) of these songs.  I get the songs the same way you can -- by listening to them over the radio and recording them on audio cassettes.

I know some of you may want to ask me for a tape of a certain song.  Don't bother to ask.  The answer is no because of a promise I made to a certain somebody, and this person is not Madman Moskowitz.

When I got Internet access at home, I made a few promises to the lady of the house (the term is accurate), who is not a computer user, but is concerned about privacy, because she has heard a few too many bad stories on radio and TV about the Internet.  In order to keep the peace around here, I promised her that I would not contact the people I meet on the Internet via snailmail or voice phone or try to meet them in person.  Doing those things would reveal our address or phone number (thanks to caller-ID on your end).  I also promised that I would not reveal certain information to others in private E-mail.  The Internet is well-known for being a place for spouses to cheat.  In my case the "lady of the house" is a biological relative.

Please don't ask me where you can download that certain song you heard on the show.  I literally don't know the answer!  The only purpose of listing the song titles is to give new listeners ideas for making requests which will be played on the radio.

Join the Music with Moskowitz listeners Yahoo Group to keep up with the news. (If the Madman were still alive and doing the show, the content below would be here without this explanation.)

Do you want to request a song but can't call the radio station during the show because it's long distance for you?  Maybe you are on the Internet and can't call out during the show because you have only one phone line.  Maybe you'd like to send him a tape (audio cassette) of something unusual in your music collection!

Here is the address for the station!  

Mailing address:	Madman Moskowitz KSER-FM 2623 Wetmore Ave Everett, WA 98201
KSER listener request line:	(425) 303-9070
KSER Website: (has streaming audio)	http://www.kser.org/

Musical topic for 15-Apr-2006:  Songs about Money (because of the start of the KSER spring pledge drive)

NOTES:

• This is merely another unofficial fan site.  If the date of the topic for next week's show is old, it means I missed it when Moskowitz announced the topic for next week's show, or Moskowitz didn't announce next week's topic.  If the topic of the "show next week" doesn't match what you see posted here, then you may be hearing a pre-recorded program.
  
  

• "Moskowitz is on at the same time as another show?!"
  Those of you who have this schedule conflict should know that tape recorders (boomboxes) are now inexpensive enough so you can buy two of the same model and record Moskowitz and maybe those old-time radio shows at the same time!
  
  

• "Why isn't Moskowitz on today?  I listened to the show for the last few weeks and he didn't mention anything about there being no show this week."
  I'm just another listener, and since I'm not connected with the show, I get no advance warning from Moskowitz if he will be unable to do the show.  If this were an official site, then I would expect Moskowitz to inform me during the week of last-minute changes to the show.
  
  

• Is the Madman "available"?  Not anymore!
  On 14-Mar-2004, Madman Moskowitz announced that he's engaged to a girl known only as "Crazy Cate".  His call screener "Nathan Detroit" is also nearly caught in the tender trap! It sounded like they were out together when each proposed to his girl. Let's wish these two nusical lunatics well and hope the two girls can keep up with them.

Yes Virginia, people did have electronic pen-pals in distant parts of the world before the Internet, with its newsgroups, listservers, message boards, chatrooms, and E-mail, became popular.  Fidonet, a world-wide network of computer bulletin board systems (BBS's) run by computer hobbyists is free of spam, stalkers, pedophiles and child pornography.  This friendly part of cyberspace is downright hostile to those who wish to cause trouble.
