Heavy Friends
Saturday August 12th, 2023 with Heavy Ben
Heavy Ben marks 10 years on Heavy Friends with 10s of 10" records
Heavy Friends entered society in June 2012 with Lady Mary joined by Heavy Friend Bijon. In August 2013, B-Roy (aka. Oddball ) brought me in as a heavy friend. 10 years later, it's still fun to pack a bag of records and make my way to the CKCU studio.
First off, thanks to you - "the listeners" - who appreciated, endured, commented, donated, and inspired us to get on the radio every Saturday night.
Thanks to Bijon and Chris I for encouraging me to get on the air and for the production training, to CKCU staff for their support across Heavy Friends and the other shows I contribute(d) to, fellow Heavy Friends / hosts current (Jas Nasty, Lina), and past (Pink Veil, Mike, Regis, Memetic, Bill, Diane), frequent heavy friends (DJ Phooknüticus, Napalm Dan, Glory Hull, Tarek, Steve, Mel & Rob, DJ Spy )... and of course to Mary for getting this thing started!
Pictured: a red 10" record that was mailed to my grandfather's office in 1950. Postage was $0.14 from New York City to Ottawa.
