The Great Mazinga Christmas (1976) – Found Photo

The Great Mazinga - Mattel's Shogun Warrior Christmas (1976) – Found Photo

I found this photo at my parent’s condo. It shows me in my pajamas Christmas morning in 1976 and I just unwrapped the greatest toy ever. My mother trekked from store to store in the cold Rochester night looking for this specific Shogun Warrior from Mattel that I craved. None of the other warriors would do. I had to have The Great Mazinga. A robot that could shoot plastic rockets out of its fist.

Eggwork Radio - Episode 48 - The Football Show (WAYO Substitute DJ 8/11/2017)

This show is dedicated to The Beautiful Game. It’s got cheesy 90’s era football anthems and comedy bits by The Mitchell & Webb Look & Monty Python. But mostly its my reminiscing about the 1978 Rochester Lancers of the old NASL.

Tonight at VSW: Here Comes The Videofreex (4/22/2017)

This documentary checks a lot of boxes for me. I love 1970’s era media, especially amateur video. Especially relevant for today now that everyone carries a video camera in their pocket.
