A double dose of 1968 since we missed last week because of the pledge drive.
Again, a big THANK YOU to all who took the time to donate to WVKR; those of you pledged during my show are acknowledged in the post below. Pledge forms should arrive in your mailbox any day now.
Hey I forgot to mention that "Peter Clark's Orphanage Of Rock And Roll" will make a rare non-Thursday appearance on VKR this Wednesday from 6 to 8pm filling in for "Regional Frequency."
Speaking of Wednesdays, Barrett's "Rhythm And Blues Review" is back airing 2 to 4 pm. Be sure to check him out!
Now for my Rants and Raves....Great shows from both Nick and Primitive George today--no surprise--but what's up with Eatabone AND Vince not showing up for their slots???? Not that we don't love our Lyn the She Devil, but come on, guys, Fridays are just not complete without you. STOP TAKING OFF!

WVKR Pledge Drive--YOU ROCK!
I am absolutely blown away by the support listeners of "The Lost And Found Oldies Show" have shown in this year's WVKR annual Pledge Drive! You don't know how good it felt to hear those phones ringing, and to have both phones going at once, well, I am humbly in awe that you think so highly of the show to take the time to call.
You generous people recognize the value in public community supported radio not restricted by focus groups and corporate sponsored research. For that I heartily thank you!
I do not have an official dollar amount pledged during 3 to 5 Friday, but suffice to say it was more than last year and in a time when finances are as tight for folks as they've ever been!
And if Jolly Joel Tyner and Jonny Eatabone wanna throw down a challenge, well, all the better, though I didn't pull in the $2000 dollars you were sayin', guys. Almost, but not quite.
Kudos to my fellow DJs for their efforts in keeping WVKR on the air for at least another year. Below are the names of the people whose names I received as pledging their support.
I apologize if you pledged during my show and don't see your name; this is merely the list I was handed. Please Email lostoldies@yahoo.com or post a comment below if you were inadvertently omitted and I'll be happy to recognize your contributions.
For those of you that wanted the 3CD premium for your $75+ pledge, rest assured you will receive one pending receipt of your donation.
Again, hearty thanks and keep listening to "The Lost And Found Oldies Show" Fridays 3 to 5pm on WVKR 91.3 FM www.wvkr.org !!!

September 5 Playlist + WVKR Ramblings
http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?djoid=1633&date=09-05-2008
So you noticed the changes in the show Friday, didn't cha? A few more familiar tunes sprinkled in with those rarities you love so much.
I'll never be an "All Hits" show, don't worry, but the popular records mixed in made those oddities made the overall show stronger, I thought. What about you?
And what about this Pledge Drive WVKR is having? Did you check out the website www.wvkr.org and get a load of that Tshirt Logo? What IS that? A rather PC colleague of mine was reminded of "cuts of meat" LOL.
I really hope WVKR does well this year. Other public/community radio stations have way more than one pledge drive per year.
And look at the diversity you get from this lil' ol' station eminating outta Poughkeepsie New York.... Folk! Lounge! Rockabilly! Blues! Garage! New Age! 80s Power Pop! Classic Country! POLKAS fer cryin out loud!
And it's all about the premiums when you pledge during The Lost And Found Oldies Show! Remember that ultra cool "Not Quite Top 91.3 Songs Of 1967" show we did the last 3 weeks in December? A copy of that broadcast--featuring 4 hours of the best of the Summer Of Love and Beyond--is YOURS when you make a minimum donation to WVKR of jsut $75!
My whole show September 12 will spotlight many of those great tunes as an incentive so I DO hope you'll tune in.
Of course, ANY amount is greatly appreciated; rest assured the money goes into the basic maintainence and upkeep of the station, transmitters, equipment and the like.
And finally, a blind item....which VKR personality went on a MAJOR rant recently about the station--off the air, thankfully--using very salty language and condemning the very fact that VKR should even HAVE a pledge drive??? My lips are sealed....
Til next Friday....post a comment of Email privately: lostoldies@yahoo.com

August 29 Playlist plus Thoughts.....
http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?djoid=1633&date=08-29-2008
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!!)

August 22 Playlist and Hey, WVKR, What The...???
Ummm...did WVKR *have* to revamp the website thus knocking out the webcast on a FRIDAY??? Not the smartest move to alienate listeners so close to the pledge drive which starts September 9. Please remember to mention that you listen to The Lost And Found Oldies Show if you pledge during another show.

oooh, it seems you guys are likin' this new format....
Not sure if I'll *always* do SOULdies, but it was nice for a change in the 70s segment, no?
And how bout those 80s tracks? Take THAT, 92.9!
And the 60s? Come on, NO one can't touch that variety. Can they? If so, let me know where, ok?
Peter Clark's "Orphanage Of Rock And Roll" Is on again this Thursday 6 to 8 pm. YAY!
Eatabone's "Bachelor Pad" came back yesterday after a too-long absence. I dunno, did you get the feeling Jonny and that commute might not agree with each other? Seems like quite the schlep for a half hour show. Call him and tell him it's worth it!
Speaking of Johnnys, Tremendous is scheduled to guest this coming Friday August 29! On tap a live call in contest with PRIZES! Yippee! Plus his usual brand of wit.
Also, I *MAY* sub for Nick in The Big Blue Kitchen so tune in at 9am this Friday to make sure. If so, it will be THREE HOURS of SOULDIES! WAHOO!
Would love your feedback. Either here or lostoldies@yahoo.com
THANKS for your support!

Good to be back!
Also good to hear from Chuck The Cheater (not really a cheater) after too long an absence!
Happy Birthday to our sweetheart Alice from Middletown who turns $%*# Saturday!
Speaking of sweethearts, how about that double dose of Lyn The She Devil filling in for both Nick AND Doug Friday! Nice!
I can't believe Bob from Poughkeepsie has the David Jones LP from 1965! I must get a copy. Maybe when I see him at the FMU Record Fair this November....
Sam The Tattoo Man made me a fantabulous offer for the pledge drive. I won't hold him to it, but sho would be nice if he follows through.
Did the show a little differently this week. Any thoughts? Playlist below.
Thanks for listening!
