January 22, 2010 Playlist and Welcome Back!

Wow, thanks so much for the great calls welcoming me back! It was nice to be missed. Hope the first show of the New Year didn't disappoint. We looked back 40 (?!) years ago to the AM radio hits (and misses) of January 1970. How many did YOU remember?:

Thanks to Lyn The She Devil for doing such a super sub job while I was away. She'll be back Friday January 29, and then I return Friday February 5 with AM radio hits from FEBRUARY 1970! Hope you'll tune in.

Feedback ENCOURAGED: lostoldies@yahoo.com

Have a GREAT week and thanks for listening!

January 8 Update

Happy New Year!
Thanks for the good wishes via Email. Hope you had festive holidaze as well.

No one responded to my sub request so there may be ~gasp~ automation on WVKR Jan 8 between 3 and 5. Yuk.

Lyn will fill in January 15 and there's a good chance I'll be back January 22.

Keep in touch!

December 18 Playlist + Food Pantry Update + Upcoming Schedule

Thanks to the super WVKR listeners who participated in our Gala Match Game special
Carl, Joe (2x!), James, Bob, Janey, Jim and ultimate winner

Judy from Greenfield Park,

together we accumulated $94 to donate to the Philipstown Food Pantry this holiday season!

And of course I couldn't have done it without the VKR DJ celebri-tees Nick DeLayy (Big Blue Kitchen), Andy Tokash (Folk, Rock & Roots), Jay Spica (Thin Air) ,Vince Vincent (Jukebox Jamboree), and the ultimate game playa--Primitive George (The Primitive Show). Thanks to Bill Eberlee, Frank of The Vinyl Triumph and especially Lyn The She Devil for their support as well, even though they could not make the actual show.

I played a few tunes. Here: http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?djoid=1633&date=12-18-2009

So when WILL I be back on the air? Keep checking this site weekly for updates. Right now it's scheduled for the first Friday in February, but it could be sooner!

Happy Holidays, and thanks for all YOUR support!

Then December 18, our annual GaLa featuring a whole gaggle of VKR DJs playing with YOU, the listeners, on game shows like "Match Game", "Pyramid", all to raise $$$ for the Philipstown Food Pantry. Don't miss it!

November 27 Playlist + Upcoming Shows + Bobby Darin

http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?djoid=1633&date=11-27-2009

Something up with WVKR's internet feed prevented me from accessing another source of music which made for a rather ramshackle afternoon, but methinks we pulled out of it ok. LOTSA great feedback which I TRULY appreciate. Feel free to Email lostoldies@yahoo.com to let me know what you thought. Maybe you have an idea for the December 11 SEVENTIES show. Next week, December 4, will be DECEMBER 1969 !

And I'd really like to know what you think of Bobby Darin. I'm reading a biography of him right now, don't really know him much besides Splish Splash, Mack The Knife, Beyond The Sea (thanks, Carol!) and his killer version of If I Were A Carpenter.

Hope you had a joyous Thanksgiving and thanks for listening!
Sammy
