It's always a blast when I can guest on my favorite radio show. The AV Club really should do a story on Ron and his show. His tribute to Casey Kasem in June of 2014 was a thing of beauty.

Here's the link to the radio show: https://archive.org/details…

Funny you should mention the Shamus song…we played it the previous time I was a guest on Crap From The Past in September of 2015. I only go on there to play the big ones!!!

Thanks for the story, Mike. Another interesting aspect (that I talked about on the radio show) is that there later actually WAS a Rascal label, started by D.A.'s brother! That same brother also had a hand in the careers of such rappers as Doug E. Fresh and the Timex Social Club.

I'm the guy that "found" the song. I verified all of the details before sharing it on Crap From The Past (and CFTP is a wonderful show indeed). Let's just say that the promo guy was able to get it on the charts (1979 was a different era for sure). If you're wondering how such a thing could happen, I highly suggest…
