Long Distance Dedication: DJ Jaimie Hart

DJ Jaimie Hart of Web of Sound of WXNACheck out our long distance dedication to DJ Jaimie Hart and Web of Sound (Saturdays from 10 – 11 a.m.) from the popGeezer of This is Pop (Saturdays from noon – 2 p.m.)

Saturdays are a special day on WXNA. The line-up is terrific, and I don’t say that simply because I have a show on Saturday.

And, being on the more ancient side of the DJ age chart, I particularly enjoy hearing shows from the “young folk” that play the music of my era, or even earlier.

Both of these factors play into why I enjoy DJ Jaimie’s Web Of Sound.

Every Saturday at 10 a.m., Jaimie’s Web is “a radio show that spins a web of music history by connecting producers, musicians, record labels, songwriters, and other musical works,” in her own words. Usually thematic, Web covers that music history deeply. In the past six weeks, Jaimie has played tracks spanning from the 1920’s (i.e. Bessie Smith) all the way into the 21st century. On any given week, you may hear early to mid-20th Century Blues, mixed with Motown, Punk & Post-Punk up to contemporary sounds. She was around when only a very few of her selections were “current hits.” And Jaimie brings this weekly musical history lesson to you in a warm voice with great enthusiasm.

So, take my invitation to hear decades of popular music from a knowledgeable young person on air or in the archives at wxnafm.org
