     In celebration of this weekend's big-deal Barry Gray centenary tribute concert in London, I, Tothar, present the second of my 2-part special edition of The Beyondophonic Action Hour  focusing on the groovy Supermarionation and Century 21 soundtrack composer.

This week, on Nov. 16 at 7:00 pm Pacific / 10:00 pm Eastern, Part Two Part Two will focus on cover versions, remixes, and other Gray tributes, including a couple of recordings made especially for this program(!). You'll hear the Gray tones of Nelson Riddle, Joe Meek's Flee-Rekkers, Hank Marvin & The Shadows, Montefiori Cocktail, The Rezillos/The Revillos, Bang Bang Lulu, and MORE!

"Oye Negra" has NEVER been as jaw-droppingly hot as this.

Had he not passed away earlier this month, Louis Teicher would have turned 84 on Aug. 24. In this Sunday's special Beyondophonic Action Hour, F&T's long-time manager Scott W. Smith will join your host Tothar to celebrate Mr. Teicher's legacy. Via phone, Scott will share swell stories about the twin piano team, including an inside scoop on the duo's dazzlingly visionary and futuristic "prepared piano" recordings. Tothar and Smith will also share some of the F&T tracks that most left them awestruck. PLUS, the Lux F&T memorial extends at 8pm PST with a rebroadcast of a 2001 LuxuriaMusic interview with Ferrante & Teicher conducted by The Millionaire!

This Sunday night at 7:00 Pacific on LuxuriaMusic, Randy Wong of the contemporary exotica combo Waitiki is Tothar's special interview guest on The Beyondophonic Action Hour!
