Morgan Williams was a DJ in the early days of WXCI. It was a platform for him to play alternative and new music that wasn't being played on commercial stations. He worked with Darryl Ort during WXCI's transition into a platform for new music. He went on to host New Music Wednesday at City Limits in Danbury. He also mentored Jeff McKay and Anne who DJ'ed at Images, the all ages club in Brewster, NY that attracted the freaks, geeks, goth, punk and new wave crowd. A place for kids coming from troubled families to be themselves and let go a little.
Samantha Levin is an Archivist documenting attendees of Images during 80s. She was lucky enough to connect with Morgan Williams about a month before he passed. She reached out to me to see if there was something we could do together in this archival space and more importantly, share her conversation with Morgan. I didn't get the chance to talk to Morgan myself so this was a gift. I'm thankful Samantha got to talk to Morgan and thankful to be able to share it with listeners.
Thank you Morgan for your contribution to the Danbury scene. Thank for you paving the way for those of us who wanted to DJ at WXCI and to share our own rhythms with the community. Thank you for giving me my first opportunity to play records live on air at WXCI. You will be missed friend.
