Wotta disappointment there was no Johnny Tremendous today! But life happens. Threw the show together in record time. "Summer" songs for the end of summer for the 60s and 70s sets. I normally *hate* theme shows. (ahem, Mr. Fornatale....) Hope this one wasn't too painful?
Where did the Summer of 2008 go??? The house was mostly in a state of turmoil, so there were less "Thursday Night Bashes" than usual, but still enough to empty more than a few bottles of tequila! Maybe we'll have a few more before the pool closing October 1st. You're invited! Call for details....
Phones were a little quiet today. Maybe it being the start of Labor Day weekend had something to do with it. But I must make note that I got THREE calls asking about Wilmer & The Dukes' cover of "Living In The USA"! Wow!
The Mama Cass song touched one of you deeply as well....Glad you liked it.
Someone actually didn't think the Tiny Tim record was that bad! They must listen to the Bachelor Pad at Colony 3! BTW, good show, Eatabone, last night! I love it when you break in frequently for shorter perios of duration. And you only have an hour--you shouldn't start at 6:03 and end at 6:57!
And I got a little flak for talking over the Dells' "Stay In My Corner". Hey, it was the 6 minute version with him vamping at the end, but since I was praising the vocal, the caller said I should have let us listen. Point taken. Speaking of soul, I did not love Vince's R&B set. Just being honest. But let's face it, where else you gonna hear that kind of stuff?
And I was chatting with a few callers who absolutely loved Thursday night's "Orphanage" Peter Clark rules. Bummer we won't hear him for the next two weeks. That guy almost always evades the Pledge Drive.
Speaking of which, please don't forget "The Lost And Found Oldies Show"! Even if you pledge during another show, mention that you listen Fridays from 3 to 5. Thanks in advance.
Happy Birthday, Michael Jackson (50!) AND Barry Gibb (61!!)

There is nobody, absolutely nobody, on your station or any other station that plays the diverse lost oldies and soul that you do.This playlist is proof of that. But save songs like the one by the Pretenders for the truly excellent "Orphange of Rock and Roll " on WVKR alternating Thursday nights, except when they don't alternate. You know what happens when you violate format, don't you? Yes, Bad Boys Get Spanked! Thanks for the info about your pool parties. Hope the station does well this year. Keep up the good work!
