Hey Listeners,
The Haberdasher turns 60 today. I canât hardly believe it. I donât sound 60 â do I? Anyway I couldnât think of a better way to celebrate on the air than by playing songs from the soundtrack of my childhood. I grew up in central NJ in a little town called Highland Park that was right next to New Brunswick the home of Rutgers University. Looking back I realize what a hip town Highland Park was. And it was a highly educated community with a strong school system. It was a community that embraced the revolution that was taking place in childrenâs television programming. I realize that now, but I didnât really understand it until I read David Kampâs Sunny Days. David, coincidentally, grew up in my hometown and I went all through primary school with his older sister, Alice. While reading the book I also came to realize what an integral and important role music played in this revolution. The entire time I was reading the book I was keeping a running list of tunes that I might play if I ever did a show that was inspired by Davidâs book. So tonightâs show will be a little different than the ordinary MIGFS program, but keep it tuned here â I think it works and is actually a really fun listen.
The Haberdasher
P.S. Tonightâs show is dedicated to my classmmate and fellow HPâer Alice.
