All Memphis, All the Time

Here’s a real treat for all you music lovers. Check out www.allmemphismusic.com. You will love it. You will want to bookmark it.

The site is an internet radio station that plays, as the title indicates, all-Memphis music: Memphis artists, songs recorded in Memphis, songs that mention Memphis. There must be some connection to Memphis. It even sometimes features pieces of the old Dewey Phillips Memphis radio show.

The site is the brainchild of two native Memphians, David Fleischman and Jon Scott. David (“Flash”) was the lead singer back in the day with Flash and the Board of Directors. He was later an executive with Atlantic Records and then MCA Records. In ’04 he returned to Memphis.

Jon is a former Memphis disc jockey who became an exec at MCA Records and ABC Records.

In 2006, the two launched allmemphismusic. Here’s what a Commercial Appeal editorial had to say about the music site.
