Vinyl Vibrations is musical exploration into sounds and grooves from artists that produced their works on vinyl records. Vinyl records -- in commercial form -- date back to 1948 with the first 12" LPs -- followed ten years later, in 1958, with the first stereo LP -- and into the 1960s, the so-called Golden Age of Vinyl -- all the way to current time, when even today, some artists are producing on vinyl records. Many music recording formats have come and gone. Today's world is in the cloud. Not long ago it was music CDs, and if you were around in the 1960s and 1970s you experienced the 8-track tape and cassette tape formats. Some of those old magnetic tapes and CDs have lost their playability, while the vinyl LP has stood the test of time.
Vinyl records captures a rich period in pop, rock, jazz and classical music history.
In each show I explore a topic in the production at the time that makes the artist's work unique and timeless. I'm your host, Brian Frederick, here on Vinyl Vibrations.

His father was the Reverend Edward Martin Waller and by the time Thomas Waller was 10, he had learned how to play the organ at his father’s church. At age 14, he was playing the organ at Harlem Lincoln’s Theater. Fats Waller is best known for his stride piano style. [insert sample of stride piano] . At age 15 he was a professional pianist and worked the local cabarets and theatres. Some of his original compositions are well known standards today, like Honeysuckle Rose, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Handful of Keys, Squeeze Me, Blue Turnin Grey Over You. Recordings of Fats Waller were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, first in 1984, the song Honeysuckle Rose, and again in 1998 the song Ain’t Misbehavin’.
