Buying the Time to "Work": Gil Anthony - 50+ Years in Broadcasting


Listen Later

Season Four is winding down quickly, and this edition of Time Signatures features fellow broadcaster and recipient of the Keeping the Blues Alive Award, Gil Anthony. Gil has amassed more than 55 years behind the microphone, and his current radio program, ‘Blues Power’ is heard on 1450 AM, and 102.1 FM, WDIG out of Dothan, Alabama. The North Dakota native US Air Force Vet dropped in to talk about his first exposure to Blues and R&B records as a kid, his expansive vinyl collection, which once included 15,000 LPs and 20,000 45s, and his move to Alabama in 1979. Gil also talked about his wild, colorful sport coat collection, swapping stories with other Blues Royalty 'til all hours during his visits to Memphis for the annual IBC and the Blues Music Awards events, and his twice weekly radio program….which he also happens to live webcast on Facebook! The man can tell some stories, and what a colorful personality! Be sure to ask him about ‘Flamingo No Pants Monday’, too!
