JOHN’S ATTIC WITH JOHN MINICUCCI
Late Friday night/early Saturday morning at Midnight (PT).
If you like the original Rhythm and Blues sounds of the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s, then you owe it to yourself to spend some time up in John’s Attic on KCSN FM. The Cooch has been an avid record collector since the 1950’s while growing up in the Pittsburgh area. And you will hear these rare records from his one–of–a–kind collection in every broadcast. A lot of these artists are up in soul heaven but their music lives on in John’s Attic.
Enjoy specialty programming such as sets of R&B Vocal groups, Car songs, An R&B Christmas show, Mardi Gras music from The Crescent City, A Mother’s Day All–Girl Song Name show, Cover songs, songs with the same title, and a hefty dose of The Blues. Not the hard rockin’ new stuff, but those classics by Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Leadbelly and Ruth Brown.
John Minnicucci, known to listeners as “The Cooch”, started in radio in 1987 answering phones at KPCC FM (89.3) for Bill Gardner’s Friday night “Rhythm and Blues Time Capsule”, hosting short segments before launching his own three–hour show. “John's Attic” moved to KCSN after KPCC dropped local music programming.
A Hacienda Heights resident, John spent 38 years in the aerospace industry.
The request line is always open, so call up The Cooch and make a dedication for that special someone. The KCSN studio hotline number is (818) 885 – 5276.
