Over the past decade your host Ralph Drake has brought to the listening audience some of the most interesting and obscure music form all musical tastes. Some of the unknowns have gone on to mainstream sucess. Groups like Blues Traveller, Saraha Mcloaughlin and many others have had their music first played on his radio shows ,while old and counted out performers like Les Paul, Johnny Cash and Captian Beefheardt have enjoyed a familuarity with new and old listeners alike. The deal here is FREEFORM RADIO which encourages old, new and impratical music rejected by the mainstream bean counters, and un sustainable . ralph's delight has been playing all types of music on his radio programs. Presenting world permier performances and bootleg tracks and allowing the listeners to sample the buffet of music set before them.
His interviews have been with hundreds of artists some who have had sucess in the past while, promoting new and unknown artists . All have appericated Ralph's philosophy of diversity and freeform programming.
