In addition to cherished memories of my dorm – late nights watching the Reverend Dr. Gene Scott on the Rochester affiliate station as well as commercials for the House of Guitars featuring the resident band The Chesterfield Kings – there was CKCU…
Nadine had her own show and the club where she was a dj was often mentioned – and soon enough I got to see in person this force of nature -Nadine Gelineau – spinning records at The Zinc just across the river in Hull.
I must admit I was smitten with this larger than life lady and though I did want to introduce myself – I could not work up the courage to say hi.
A few months later I would have the pleasure of being acquainted with others at CKCU because of my involvement as a musician and songwriter fortunately.
I did read about Nadines music ventures with interest through the years because as everyone who was ever in her presence knows she was someone that really stood out from the crowd – a really special person – in the truest sense.
