The Midday Mix
Scott Glazer hosts The Midday Mix every Monday-Friday from 11am-2pm spinning the best in vintage and new sounds.
The Midday Mix has gained Scott a local (and mildly uncomfortable) celebrity in Atlanta. He says that it still "weirds me out" when someone recognizes him by voice when he is out and about - but he loves all his listeners and urges them to keep those cards and letters, calls and emails coming!
Scott has welcomed guests from all walks of life including basketball great and philanthropist Dikembe Mutombo, music legend Emory Gordy, songbird Emmylou Harris and more... So tune in every Monday-Friday at 11am and spend some time Scott Glazer.
Great moments from The Midday Mix below.

Emmylou Harris
On Friday June 25, 2010 the one and only Emmylou Harris came to visit on the Midday Mix..and stayed on air for an hour-and-a-half! She was eloquent, natural, beautiful and completely humble. I didn’t want to see her go! The response was overwhelming on the AM 1690 website, Facebook, Twitter and in-person.
Atlanta music legend Emory Gordy, Jr. was also present. He was a gracious guest with a shared history with Emmylou. They met in Gram Parson’s band in the early 1970′s when she was singing and he was playing bass. They continued to work together in Emmylou’s Hot Band and many other situations. Gordy was the producer of Emmylou’s Ballad of Sally Rose. He has compiled a dream list of musical credits as a player and producer including work with Elvis Presley, Bill Monroe, Billy Joel, George Jones, Neil Diamond, and many many others.
At Emmylou’s concert at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens that night, well wishers enthusiastically offered encouragement and support for me and AM 1690. As well, Emmylou – at two different points in her concert – waxed poetically about WMLB and independent radio, as she had during our on air interview.
Liked her a lot! Thanks, Emmylou.

Eddie Tigner
In 1959, after learning blues music from his Army buddies T-Bone Walker and Les Paul, Eddie Tigner joined an incarnation of the Inkspots after sitting in on a show in Atlanta. Tigner stayed on the road with the Inkspots until 1987. After a 30 year tour, Tigner returned home to Atlanta where he does a weekly Sunday night gig at Northside Tavern with Uncle Sugar. Eddie stopped by shortly after his 83rd birthday to talk to our own Scott Glazer about his career from before the Army and through today.
