Pierre’s Vinyl Cut: Every afternoon around 2:15ish, Pierre Robert sneaks down to WMMR’s Studio R, the only one left with a working record player, to play a song (or two or three) on vinyl. Tune in to hear the beautiful crackle of the record and the thrilling tale Pierre shares about the artist.

• Pierre’s Vinyl Cut | January 31, 2023 | Bruce Springsteen

  Today's vinyl cut album is 'The River' from Bruce Springsteen in honor of him kicking off the tour tomorrow with the E Street Band in Tampa. The full band will be here in Philly, March 16th at The Big Joint. I played 'Out in the Street' & 'Cadillac Ranch'. Looking at the insert reminds me of Casey, Jacky & Kyle's cross country road trip last year!

• Pierre’s Vinyl Cut | January 30, 2023 | Grateful Dead

  Some of the lyrics for today's vinyl cut,  Truckin', were inspired by an event that happened today in 1970. Every member of the Grateful Dead except for Pigpen, was arrested for possession of Marijuana in New Orleans. Shocking!
