Spinning My Dads VinylI inherited about 600 records (33 1/3 LPs and 78 RPM Shellac) when my father passed away in December 2019. What better way to honor him than to share those records in a podcast. Author: Frank Vaccariello
Extensive and Eclectic and we hear them as is with skips, scratches, and pops. Being a radio and mobile DJ for a decade and a half, I collected several hundred albums. I had nothing on my dad who owned more than 500 (33 1/3) LPs and over 100 78 RPMs at the time of his death in December 2019. I had no idea he had so many. We found them spread all over the house when we prepared for the estate sale. I went through every one and categorized them on an app called Discogs. I thought so many were unique, I decided to start a podcast called Spinning My Dads Vinyl. Each episode will feature an album. Ill tell stories about the family listening to these albums and Ill give other info about the album and the time it was released.

Frank's 2024 Eclipse Music Mix
Episode 2024
Wednesday, 27 March, 2024
This is not an episode of Spinning My Dad's Vinyl. It was the only place I could share this music mix for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. Music to watch an eclipse by We've been looking forward to the April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse that is hitting parts of North America for a long time. I bought a special camera filter to take photos of the phenomenon. We bought really nice Eclipse glasses a couple of months prior. We'll be smoking ribs and chicken while enjoying the spectacular with high school friends in from D.C. IF THE WEATHER HOLDS! It is northeast Ohio. But, of course, I needed to create a special music mix for the occasion. Most people think you should just play Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon to time the song Eclipse's last words to end at the start of totality: "...and the sun is eclipsed by the moon." While my playlist starts with the beginning of that classic album and brings in totality with those lyrics from that song, the list will showcase more eclipse/moon-themed songs from many different music genres. After totality, you'll get to enjoy more sun-based music to bring you to the end of the eclipse, which will be capped by Satchmo's What A Wonderful World. By the way...I chose Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence for totality. No matter where you are along the path, if you start this 2024 Eclipse Music Mix EXACTLY 1 hour and 15 minutes before totality starts in your vicinity, the transition I just described should line up properly. You can see the playlist below the audio player. Enjoy the show that nature is providing us backed by some great music. Were there other great tunes to use? You bet. But I had time constraints and needed to back time exactly to totality and then to the end.
