- A sad day in the world of record collecting and old time music. Joe’s passion for music ensured that a new generation learned and passed on the valuable knowledge that he acquired over his lifetime. —— #Repost @radio_bristol with @use.repost ・・・ Radio Bristol has lost a dear friend in the passing of Joe Bussard (July 11, 1936 - September 26, 2022). We send love and condolences to his family and friends and are deeply grateful for all he has given to the music community throughout his storied life. His career in radio was unparalleled. Joe was one of the first DJs to come on board and believe in Radio Bristol shortly after our launch and we will forever be grateful. Joe took great care in creating programming and always listened back to his show and made sure everything was working as it should. He has left an indelible mark on American music and greater community through with his passion for collecting and listening to 78 records. We sure are going to miss you Joe. Thanks for everything you have done for us over the years, for your continual support, your humor and your unmatched love for music. . . #joebussard #radiobristol #78rpm #recordcollecting
