Deirdre O'Donahue ~ SWEETHEART OF THE RADIO Host of KCRW's "SNAP!" 1980 through 1991 Sean Pope Coffey (PDP's Brother / founding drummer, and co-designer of the PDP sound), contacted me recently to see if I had any recordings of beloved radio show host Deirdre O'Donahue from KCRW (as he is working on writing gift for her). Deirdre was a lovely woman and a fantastic radio DJ, and she held PDP under her wing in the way only a 'sister of a different  mother' can. We loved her. A soul sister for sure. I went through all my boxes of cassettes and found only this recording of her on the air debuting our 1st e.p. in 1988. What a lovely voice and soul.   Deirdre invited us on her show to play live a couple of times, but those cassettes are back home in Hawai'i, so I will have to dig those up on my next trip home. But, for now brother Sean - this is for you, and for all those who are interested to hear what a beautiful gentile soul sounds like in control of the radio - pre all the clear channel etc., bull shit.... listen on.   PDP (fall upon me / pulling touch) The Church (under the milky way / maybe these boys) Mighty Lemon Drops Prince - love sexy PDP (sound of water ) ?
