Russ Calloway

Keeper of the nighttime dial

Russ bought his first transistor radio with two months of paper-route money and slept with it under his pillow for a decade. He writes about the music, the DJs, and the street games we played until the streetlights called us home — the aggies won and lost, the dedications called in and hoped over.

He still has his marble bag. He still plays for keeps. And he can still tell you the first 45 he ever bought — but he’d rather you told him yours, down in the comments.
