Celebrate and Commemorate Scott Vid (aka “Bold Captain”) with his WUSB Friends on Friday April 14.

Scott was truly a modern age renaissance man. An excellent sound-man, he had many more skills & interests including: graphic art; musicology; writing poetry and lyrics to name just a few. Scott wrote dozens of songs in partnership with Tom San Filippo. Eight hours barely scratches the surface of his works.

Our celebration is a multifaceted production containing music from Scott’s “Vault”, Local Musician Friends Recollections with Live In-Studio Performance, and whatever else we can drum up to send Scott off with honor and gratitude.

From DJ Ed Roller...

Saturday night at midnight (12-3am Sunday) we deviate from our usual musical strangeness in honor of Radiothon to pay tribute to the recently departed California based iconic musician David Lindley (1944-2023).

Starting in the late 60s with his session work and with the band Kaleidoscope, his music was wide and varied. Among his closest collaborators include Jackson Browne as he was his lead guitarist between 1971-81. Warren Zevon, Ry Cooder, Henry Kaiser, Dolly Parton, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby, Stills and Nash and many more utilized Dave’s unique instrumentation on their recordings.

Sunday, April 2nd at 5 P.M. at The Long Island Museum, Rte.25A, Stony Brook.

We’ve often referred to The Kennedys as the ‘musical heart and soul’ of WUSB’s The Sunday
Street Series. They played our very first show in February, 2004 and have returned many times
for Kennedy’s shows as well as being an integral part of our annual Bob Dylan Birthday
Celebration.

While the pandemic put a halt to live events shortly after our January 2020 show with Pete and Maura, we’re delighted to have them back with us for a live show. You can expect the usual musical brilliance of an early evening with Pete and Maura as well as songs from a new studio album of original songs.

Please join us to welcome them back to our series. (www.kennedysmusic.com)
