Would you believe, I'm on the radio AGAIN TONIGHT?!
That's right, gang. After having done the 1-4 p.m. shift at my college station on Friday afternoon, I'm now going back in to man the air chair from 2-5 a.m. EST.

Tonight, I plan to broadcast a "Forgotten 45s" show featuring AM radio hits of the 1970s that vanished from the airwaves when they fell off the charts and, by and large, haven't been played again since. Of course, when you hear some of that stuff, you'll know WHY it hasn't been aired in years! :evilgrin:

In any event, if you feel like spending your late Friday night/early Saturday morning reliving the most forgoettable decade in recent memory, you can either tune in live to 91.7-FM (if you're in certain parts of Southern New England), or you can catch me live on the Web at http://whus.org/listen.htm

Now keep on truckin'! ;)

1. Check out the Bobby Fuller Four - "I Fought the Law & the Law Won"
I was listening to "Garage Channel" on SIRIUS a few days ago and they were playing some other tunes by these guys. I was surprised at how good they sounded now (I used to hear them way, way back). Just a thought.

3. I have their "Best of" CD.
And I agree: the Bobby Fuller Four made some damned good rock 'n' roll! Too bad ol' Bobby had to die so bloody young. :cry:

4. Night Train, I am jealous!
I was a college radio dj in the early 80's and I absolutely loved being on the air. I stayed at school one summer and we kept our station going through the summer -- we were all doing 3 or 4 shows a week. It was awesome!

Enjoy it while you can!

5. I've been involved with WHUS since 1992.
Our staff consists of a 50/50 mix of students and community volunteers. I would be among the latter group, as you may have inferred. :hi:
