September 25 Playlist + Update

Thanks for the all the supportive calls welcoming me back.
My future on WVKR is still up in the air, but believe me, it's NOT because I don't LOVE what I do, quite the opposite. There's just some....things going on and if I *DO* leave, it will be better for ALL, especially YOU, the listeners! How can that be, Sammy? Trust me on this one, kay? For now just keep it tuned to Independent 91.3 www.wvkr.org !

Eatabone an I offered to fill in for Joel Tyner while he's on hiatus due to the election--can't have a radio show and run for office--but my Email was never responded to, and found out 2nd hand that Exec Staff might air a repeat of Democracy Now, which is what happened. (Just wish someone would have let me know for sure)....Got some calls re: this issue. One was opposed to the Dem Now repeat, one was just as rabidly FOR, one caller thought that Fridays could be devoted to just music. Where do YOU stand?

Also, Tony O is no longer on WVKR--not sure if that's temporary or permanent--what's YOUR take on the situation? Gonna miss him?

Today's show saluted the wonderful pledgers who donated during my show and featured MORE 1969 music. See? http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?showoid=1666&date=09-25-2009

Lyn The She Devil fills in for me October 2nd. Email lostoldies@yahoo.com
LOVE your feedback!

Thanks for listening!

WVKR Pledge Drive Thank Yous + Goodbye (?)

This Friday was WVKR's annual pledge drive.

Once again the listeners came through loudly and clearly how much they value "The Lost And Found Oldies Show" and that deserves recognition right here and right now:

Kenneth from Poughkeepsie !
Alice from Middletown !
Big Joe from Rosendale !
Stan from Cold Spring !
Sam The Tattoo Man !
George from North Salem !
Robert from Poughkeepsie !
Peter from Poughkeepsie !
Chuck from New Paltz !
Lyn from Poughkeepsie !
Robert from Newburgh !
Richard from Stone Ridge !
Don from Middletown !
Johnny Tremendous !
Karen from New Paltz !
Bernard from Newburgh !
Thomas from New Paltz !
Steve from New Milford !
Robert from Port Ewen !
Tonja from ?
Bob from ? !
Pat from ? !
Those are just the people that called during my shift but I also need to thank
Suzanne from Vassar who donated online and wanted me to know she enjoyed the show and to EVERYONE ELSE who mentioned LAFOS as one of their favorite shows. You're tops!
Today's show was a little difficult, and not just because of the date of its broadcast.
In case you missed the announcement at the end of the show, I will be OFF THE AIR for at least the next 3 weeks, hopefully not longer, but no guarantees at this point.
You must know that doing the show has been the highlight of my week for the last 5 1/2 years you've let me into your homes, cars, offices. Your support, either by phone, email, or in person has been truly valued--I KNOW who you are and hopefully YOU do too--THANK YOU!
Check back here to find out when (if?) I'll be back on the air.

Wow, sad to say goodbye to The Summer of '69; So many great memories. Hope you heard some of your favorites and maybe made some new faves as a result of tuning in.

Two albums debuted on the Billboard Album Chart 40 years ago this week: "Everything's Archie" and the Soundtrack to"Easy Rider." Sp0tlighted both of those LPs today; was taking votes from the callers and the majority of you preferred "ER" but not by much. And some of you agreed with me that BOTH are equally deserving of merit. So true!

The WVKR Pledge Drive starts Tuesday, September 8th. Hopefully you can donate some $$$ to the station to keep it running for another year. I'm hoping to get a minimum of 40 people to call in their support. NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL!

Would love your feedback as always lostoldies@yahoo.com.

THANKS FOR LISTENING! I've had a blast!
Sammy
