Jim Gold of the group Gallery has at least four million reasons to be realize he has been blessed with the “Midas Touch.”

The song Nice to Be With You, which he wrote with his wife in mind, has been played over 4 million times. That’s according to BMI (Broadcast Music Inc). This includes any performance of the song on radio, TV, concerts, or any place music is played for the public.

Oldies Without Borders

It’s “Music History with a Twist.”

Oldies Without Borders is a weekly deep dive into pop music: the hits and forgotten 45’s that were released on vinyl from the early 1950’s to the 1980’s.

It’s been on the air since May 2002.

If it was released on vinyl, cassette, or 8-track, I play it.

I also chat with the people that made the music, with full interviews posted here at VinylProfessor.blog.

It currently airs on the following community radio stations in Ontario: INDI 101-5FM (Hamilton), Halton Hills Online Radio (Georgetown), and Sunview 102 (Goderich).
